Joel, I suspect you may have a marginal KXUSB adapter. While it may work okay with the Windows driver, it seems to not be reliable using the OS X driver. I've seen this happen before. It could start failing on Windows too at some point. Try contacting Elecraft support and see if they will send you another KXUSB to try.
This is assuming you have the most current FTDI driver installed on your Mac.
