[Elecraft] P3 RS232

[Bill Coleman]

Hi Pete,   Check the RS232 speed settings in the P3.

The P3 forces (and leaves) the K3 at 38400 baud.  If you have the P3 set to 
something other than 38400 then your software is likely set to that (say 
19200).  With the P3 'out of the picture', your software at 19200 is trying 
to 'talk' to the K3 set at 38400.

Simple fix:  set the P3 and your software to 38400.

As an independent verification, use the K3 utility with and without the P3 - 
it will work fine.  It manages to handle the speed mismatch because it tries 
all four possible speeds.

73, Bill  N2BC

Yes, it does that on mine too.  I'm using a microHAM Station Master and if I
turn off the P3, the band data goes away.  The fix here is to turn the P3 on
then power off and on the radio.

I have noticed that if I turn my P3 off the RS232 out link to the PC also
stops.
Is this correct?
