[Elecraft] P3 Utility Will Not Connect To P3

[Amateur Radio Operator N5GE]

I have connected my P3 to my new K3S and it works very well.  However,
now when I try to load my P3 Utility it will not connect to any com
port on my PC.

I'm not new to working with COM ports and PC applications, having
sucessfully written several working applications which connect com
ports, so I set one of my applications to use one of the com ports the
P3 utility will not connect to and stepped through the debugger and
found that the program would connect to all of the com ports I had
tried to connect the P3 Utility to, and found that in all cases the
applications would connect to the com ports that the P3 Utility would
not connect to.  In all test cases I set the com port speed at 38400
or greater.

Being one of the first factory built K3S's, perhaps I have stumbled
onto a bug in the P3 Utility.

Thanks for all of all of the great products you provide for me and the
rest of the Elecraft owners.
