[Elecraft] [K3][P3] No data decode in K3 Utility?

[John Nelson]

  I have the same problem, except that I get no decode display 
whatsoever on the K3 Terminal program even with the P3 off (except 
occasional lines of gibberish)!  Display on the K3 VFO B is fine, as is 
text transmission from the K3 Terminal program to the K3.  I am using 
the newer FTDI based Sabrent USB to serial adapter.  I know I'll need to 
wait for the TB command implementation, but I'm suspicious that decode 
does not work even with the P3 off.
