One thing to add ... once you have the CAT control setup properly, you
should change bands via WSJT-X, as it will control the band changes on
the rig, not the reverse.

Richard,
You must have communications between WSJT-X and the K3S in order for
WSJT-X to know the band that is selected on the K3S.
A standard USB cable is all you need between the computer and the K3S.
Be certain you do not accidentally try to plug it into the RJ-45 jack
because that will damage the jack. Make certain the RS232 menu
parameter is set to USB.
If you also have the P3, you should be using the CBLP3Y cable between
the K3S and the P3 (and the setup is the same as the USB).
If you are currently using the RJ45 dongle on the K3S to connect with
the P3 and plugging an RS-232 cable (or adapter) into the P3 PC
connector, that should work too. If this is the connection you have
to the PC, set the RS-232 menu to 38400 baud.
You must tell WSJT-X which COM port is connected to the K3S - yes, a
USB port with an adapter inserted will have a COM port assigned by the
computer. That also goes for the K3S connected with a straight USB
cable (the USB to RS-232 adapter is in the K3S).

K3S, Mac Sierra 10.12, WSJT-X version 1.8.0.
Everything is working perfectly. Well, 99.874% is working perfectly.
The little WSJT-X dropdown menu for band selection doesn’t follow
band changes I make at the K3S. The same problem exists between my
friend’s Kenwood TS-990s and his similar Mac running WSJT-X version
1.9.1.
I am told this can be facilitated with “a cable” between the K3S and
the Mac: RS-232 connector at the K3S and USB-A at the Mac.?
Is this correct? If not, what DO I need?
Do I need to make any Menu or Config changes to activate this?
