Dick and David -- Thanks for your good counsel; I do appreciate your taking the time to help.
I’ve solved the problem but in a way that defies explanation. On a hunch I decided to reload the F/W in the KX3. I know that was up to date, but because I use the KXPA PC connection to connect the KXUSB to the computer for both the KXPA and the KX3, I thought . . . well, it can’t hurt. But momentarily it did hurt. Trying to reload the KX3 F/W with the KX3 Utility resulted in a hang up. Unable to shut down without removing a battery, and then experiencing a continuing hangup even after the manual’s suggested restart. Multiple times - the Utility reported no communication between the computer and the KX3. So, on another hunch (or out of desperation) I unplugged and reseated everything and then I reloaded the KX3 utility – even though the one I had on board is the latest. Did that; tried the F/W reload on the KX3; and that worked. Then back to the KXPA Utility, tried to download the new F/W rev for the amp – and that worked! And people say the business I’m in is mysterious and arcane . . . . Many thanks. Hope you had a great holiday. See you in the CQWW CW. I’ll be on with an updated KX3 and KXPA. Ted, KN1CBR Edward A.
