[Elecraft] KX3-PX3-computer

I helped, this last weekend, at a ham radio demo for a Boy Scout 
encampment of about ~250 Scouts and leaders.  I found that the 
KX3-PX3-computer (KX3 utility program - terminal) didn't display on the 
computer what the KX3 decoded.  The computer made a nice display - 
larger then the PX3, but the PX3 allowed me to find stations on 40m 
during the day (and it was dead).  I sort of remember an old email about 
this setup not working.  I looked it up when I got home.  Still not sure 
why it wouldn't work...  I did use the computer with fldigi.

Anyway...  to keep things simple, it SURE would be nice to have the 
KEYBOARD working for the PX3...  It is difficult to be portable with a 
computer (for any length of time) and is not KISS, either.

IT WAS a good demo as we had four stations setup in two locations.
The Scout planners want us back.  Keyboard in 2016??
