Correcting myself yet again: the KXPA100 port is labeled "RS232 PC”  — guessing that is the same as ACC1.

I have the KXUSB plugged into the KXPA100 ACC2 PC port (correcting myself, it’s the ACC2 port and not ACC1 on the KXPA100) and that is connected to my Mac mini USB. Turned on the KX3, leaving the PX3 off. Set PA Mode to On and it stayed. Then turned on the PX3, and all is sailing along smoothly. I then brought up the KX3 utility program and it initialized beautiful finding the KX3 in the daisy chain.

>> David A., see page 9 of the PDF Dick uploaded. This is the Elecraft design for all ports and cables when using the KX3, the PX3 in line with the KXPA100.
>> David O. and David A., if you’re suggesting using the ACC1 available port on the KXPA100 (end of the daisy chain), I have tried that, and unfortunately this causes a new problem: the KX3 refuses to enter the PA Mode with the KXUSB connected. Menu>PA Mode>On will not stick. It just falls back to Off.

What do you do to get a KXUSB into the KX3 for radio control from a variety of software programs into an ACC1 PC port? None available. Can the ACC1 port be Y’d?
