The K3 Utility currenly uses the text-to-terminal capability of the K3 for its terminal program. Currently the P3 doesn't forward this information to the PC host. I've started an effort to exploit a new K3 MCU command, TB, designed for programs like this. It's going to be a few weeks more because of a vacation, but an update that provides terminal support concurrently with P3 operation is planned.
It will be a K3 Utility update rather than a P3 update.

I had not seen any comments about a problem using the K3 Utility program to run the Terminal program on RTTY but I discovered that in order to use the RTTY terminal section, and probably the CW and PSK31 decode feature too, was to turn off the P3. Once it's off, the Terminal program comes back to life. I'm looking forward to a P3 firmware update when it becomes more transparent to the information flowing to and from the K3 through the P3. Also I'll put in another plug for updating the K3 Utility program so it can share a virtual serial port through LP-Bridge (for the Terminal) while the K3 can continue to talk to the computer for the Logger32 logging program.
