[Elecraft] K3 / P3 - RS232 ???

[Pfizenmayer]

New K3 user -- it boots up in transmit if the RS232 attached laptop has not 
been booted up first . And no amount of button pushing that I have found 
will take it out of transmit. (other than power off - but back on and still 
in transmit)

What do I have set wrong ???  This is a real RS232 not a USB-RS232 dongle.
All works fine if computer is booted up first - communicates with N1MM etc 
etc
