Robin,

Do you have an RS-232 9 pin cable connected between the K3 RS232 connector and the XCVR connector on the K3? That cable is what carries the frequency and other information to the P3.

For computer connection, connect the PC to the "PC" connector on the P3.

If you have a K3S and are operating with the USB to K3S connection, then you would use the CBLP3Y cable between the RJ45 jack on the K3S and the P3. If you do have this arrangement, make certain the RJ45 plug is fully seated - push the RJ-45 plug in until it clicks, you may have to pull the cover back and seat the actual connector until it clicks home.

As an added note - if you have previously attempted to put the K3S end of the USB cable into the RJ-45 jack, you likely damaged the RJ-45 jack and the KIO3B option will have to go back to Elecraft for replacement.

73,

Hi -

I must be a complete idiot, but I just cannot get this to work for me. I am 
looking at my P3 connected to a K3. It is connected between the IF In on the P3 
and IF Out on the K3. When looking at the P3 display, on all frequencies, I do 
not see the actual frequency of the VFO, I see 0, for example to top line has 
-25.0 0 +25.0.
