That part is understood... I have read all the materials from Elecraft and the publisher of KX3 Companion....
And I've called Elecraft Customer Support.

That said;
Receiver spectrum data is on the Rec IQ jack and I've been told by someone that they think the KX3 ACC1 should be connected to the USB of the display device using the KX3 serial cable with a USB adapter to fit the USB port of the display device, then the Rec IQ of the KX3 connected to the microphone input of the display device to complete the connections for a Spectrum display...

I need to know the specifics from someone who has already done it..
None of the written materials say what needs to be done and an audio cable between Rec IQ and the mic input of the tablet does nothing.

>From the website for KX3 Companion:

"It connects to your KX3 by using the USB Serial cable that comes with the radio. You’ll also need an inexpensive OTG Cable adapter to connect the serial USB to your mobile device. You can find them for a very few dollars. No other cables are needed!”

I don’t know any other details. I don’t use that app and I don’t have any Android devices.
