[Elecraft] New P3

[Alan Bloom]

It sounds like the EEPROM data got corrupted somehow.  Try doing a
Parameter Initialization as described in the P3 Owner's Manual.

If I unplug power from the P3, I can see the K3 through the same cable using the K3 Utility (same comport, 4). I am using an Aten usb adapter, but it works fine on the K3 direct or through the P3 with power off. So, I assume its not the cable or the USB adapter.
