At this point, we don't know what is failing, or where.  The K3 
typically receives each character from the P3/SVGA and produces the CW 
code and side tone for each element as the character is being 
transmitted.  It also displays each alpha-numeric character on the K3 
display.  When a character is skipped, none of those actions are 
happening in the K3.  Then, there is the RS232 between the two units to 
consider.  The fact that it fails independent of speed, even at very 
slow speed is the curious part.

This thread got off on a tangent when it was suggested to Marc that he 
use a computer for CW with the K3.  If doing so, isn't it a function of 
the sound card line in and out, and not the RS232 to transfer the code?  
Perhaps I'm forgetting something.  I make mistakes when it's late and 
I'm tired.
