An update:
I got the PX3 utility communicating with the PX3 after rebooting
my Mac (which didn't help), and swapping the USB<--->RS232 cable
between the two USB ports on the Mac, which fixed the problem.
I have put screen shots from the PX3 on my DropBox
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tzqucbobdlos53p/AACA059lDQq71EyZsnukcVqia?dl=0>
showing normal operation and both the vertical and horizontal smearing.
It seems I can fix the vertical smearing by holding the AVERAGE
button and then exiting.
If no one has any ideas, I'll bug support.

Also, the PX3 utility can't talk to the PX3 using "Test
Communications". The path through the PX3 to the KX3 works.

I think these problems are chronic, and have been occurring
off and on for at least a year. (I've been ignoring them
because for most of the time I use my K3 and P3, or I'm
operating FT8 and the PX3 doesn't matter. Also, I'm lazy.)
Vertical smearing. It acts as if once a signal is displayed on
the waterfall, it is displayed on every subsequent line of the
waterfall. Everything is blurry as well. It seems to go away
if I change bands on the KX3.
Horizontal smearing. It acts as if the signals on the
waterfall are being modulated by a weak signal so the they get
wider. This widening makes a CW signal about 3 times wider.
This issue comes and goes with no obvious cause/relation to
other things.
Any thoughts? Any fixes?
