[Elecraft] Using KX3 Utility to decode CW, RTTY

Good observation, which I should have known.  Only the KX3 decodes. The 
KX3 Utility displays only part of what is on the KX3 text display and 
must be losing something along the way.  The PX3 seems to display what 
is on the KX3 text display, but often adds a lot of characters.  Has 
anybody had success using the KX3 Utility Terminal?  Fred Cady 
recommends it.
