[Elecraft] Problem connecting LP_Bridge through the P3 to the K3

[Ted Roycraft]

I tried to connect LP_Bridge passing through the P3 to the K3 (the P3 is 
supposed to be transparent to apps connecting to the K3 I understand) 
and LP_Bridge failed to connect to the K3.  Everything is set up to run 
at 38400 baud and it worked fine without the P3 there.  After fooling 
around with it, I found that if I turned the P3 off before starting 
LP_Bridge, it would connect to the K3.  I could then turn on the P3 and 
everything seems to work fine after that.   I thought the P3 was 
supposed to be transparent as far as RS-232 connections through to the 
K3 are concerned but it seems that it isn't.  It doesn't seem like a 
significant problem since there is an easy workaround but it is a little 
annoying. Has anyone else run into this?
