[Elecraft] KX3-PX3-computer

[steve]

I guess I didn't define "display" -- the text display.  I copied 
cw/psk31 fine on the KX3,  I think I got the text on the PX3 (don't 
remember), but it wasn't displaying the same on the terminal mode of the 
KX3 utility.  When I got home I checked the old emails and there is an 
issue.  I solved it (during the demo) by using fldigi, BUT it would be 
nice to have the PX3 Keyboard for input rather then NEED the computer 
for keyboard entry...  (yes, I "could" use the cw key for entry...)
