Hi Bill,
If the P3SVGA is set for displaying K3 decoded digital or CW text, another
external text display program (rumlog, K3 Utility text window etc.) that
accesses the K3's decoded text over the serial or USB command interface can not
be running and displaying the decoded text at the same time. (The P3 with
P3SVGA gets this data over the same serial path the external program does and
the K3 flushes out the buffer after each read.)
This is a one application at a time interface. Running a second app
simultaneously will cause the loss of text you are experiencing.
73,

Thanks to some off list advice, I think I have tracked this problem down. It
doesn't appear to be RUMlogNG because it also occurs with the K3 utility.
(Note: I found thi problem before communicating with Tom DL2RUM.) Here's my
message to support describing the problem:
When running the K3 utility (Mac version, but the problem might also occur
with Windows and Linux), with the terminal window open, and having the P3/SVGA
data display turned on, both the P3/SVGA and the terminal window lose
characters during RTTY decode. The correct characters appear on the K3 display.
Turning P3/SVGA data display off clears up the characters in the terminal
window, and switching to one of the other windows in the K3 utility clears up
the problem with the P3/SVGA.
Simular problems occur using RUMlogNG's contest mode for RTTY.
Given the easy workaround, this problem isn't super high priority, but if it
will be with us for a while, people should learn about the workaround.
