One of the things that threw me for a loop was that all of the boxes under the “Enable CAT” check box were grayed out until I entered the location of the device (ttyUSB0). Once I did that, the KX3 and WSPR decided to get along with one another. The KX3 is now sitting here connected to my RPi2 decoding happily on 30 meter WSPR. And the cool thing is that the frequencies being listed fall with in +- 3 Hz of what is reported on WSPRnet.

Plug and play for me. The device you need to look for is something like /dev/ttyUSB0.
