Why not expect the developer of NaP3 to fix his software to work with
the way the KX3 operates and mute the input when the IF poll indicates
the rig is in transmit rather than expect Elecraft to modify their
transceiver to work around a problem in one piece of software?  Oh, I
forgot - the developer of NaP3 has folded his tent and abandoned the
product.
