[Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

[Cady, Fred]

You must have the KX3 decoding to display text on the PX3.  The PX3 doesn't decode.  What you shouldn't do is try to display on the PX3 and the KX3 Utility at the same time.


Note: To display CW, RTTY or PSK decoded signals on the PX3, you must activate text decoding on the KX3.

Make sure that you do not have the KX3 Utility Terminal program active to display and send text while you are trying to use the PX3 keyboard, or vice verse.  The KX3’s text decode can be fed to only one place.  You will see dropped characters if the utility is active when using the keyboard.  They both cannot be used at the same time.


Cheers,

Hi Tom (or anyone else who knows),

Does this also hold true for the decode function in the KX3 and the PX3?
Should I not run those simultaneously either?  Or is it only the
interaction between the hardware and the utility program?
