Be sure the RJ-45 portion of the K3S<->P3 "Y" cable is fully seated.
Sometimes the rubber boot slides a bit on the connector and it appears
to be fully mated, but isn't. It must be seated until the plastic tab
on the RJ-45 clicks.
There is a jumper connection in the RJ-45 connector on this
Byron,
The way you have it connected now, you have to use two "COM" ports, one
for the K3S and another for the P3. It would be better to use only one.
Since you have a USB to serial adapter working with the P3, I suggest
you remove the USB cable (unless you are using the internal K3S
I found a workaround by using the Elecraft RJ-45-to-Serial cable and a
separate PC-to-P3 USB-to-serial.
I am uncertain how to test the RJ-45-to-Serial cable, but at least it no
longer "breaks" my K3S to PC USB.
Data Terminal Mode in the P3 seems like a secret, but I'm hunting for it
now. 73,
Let me summarize my tests in hope someone has an idea.
1. I have followed the instructions.
2. I am using the proper cable.
3. As far as I know.
It seems simple.
1. Set K3S CONFIG:RS232 to USB. Connect USB between computer and K3S.
[CHECK]
2. Connect CBLP3Y to P3 (top+bottom) and K3S RJ-45
In summary, I expect to connect PC-to-P3 via USB-DB9 and have only
the DC-power and IF-BNC between the K3S and the P3. DO I HAVE THAT
CORRECT?
No. If you plan to connect the computer to the K3S using the internal
USB port, you need to use the optional CBL3Y cable from Elecraft to
connect the
THis is what I did, but it seems to disable the K3S USB port.
I have the K3S RS232 setting set to USB; should that be 38400 instead?
Would USB still work?

Byron,
See page 18 of the K3S manual for connection to the P3 if you are using
the USB port on the K3S.
You must use the CBLP3Y cable between the K3S RJ-45 connector and the
P3. Note that the connector with 2 cables plugs into the XCVR DE-9
connector on the P3.
If you are using a USB to
