[Elecraft] P3 freezes

[Bill Frantz]

I travel with my computer and connect it to my K3 (upgraded) 
every time I go on the air. The last time I started operating, I 
noticed that my P3 did not know the frequency the K3 was using. 
I then noticed that I hadn't plugged the USB connection between 
the K3 and the computer into the computer. I plugged it in and 
everything worked again.

I think this may have been because the K3 needs to be polled in 
order to send the frequency data. (There is a menu option to 
automatically send the frequency data. I am away from the radio 
so I can't check how it is set on my K3.) Hooking the radio to 
my computer let the logging program provide the polling.
