Here are more details:

All seems to be working fine on 160m-10m except for 17m, so KX3 VFO is at 18.100 for the rest of this discussion.

Without WSJT-X running, ATU finds a 1.1 match and TUNE button on KX3 works as expected.

With WSJT-X running, using the WSJT-X TUNE button causes the following:

1.  KXPA100 power LED's light from left to right _twice_, in synchronization with a musical ringing that rises in frequency, then settle down quietly to about 100W.

2.  Around the same time Windows reports "USB device not recognized" and the mouse cursor disappears.   At this point different things can happen:  Maybe the cursor comes back and I can stop the TUNE at WSJT-X.  Maybe it doesn't and I have to shut off the KX3 with XMIT button.  Sometimes the PC freezes and needs a hard reset.

3.  The KXPA100 fault table lists no faults.

Anybody seen anything like this?

David,

It is a mystery why the computer reports that message only on 17 meters.  There should be no band dependency for the USB connection.

I've had good luck setting up my KX3 for FT-8., but it took awhile. I used several good sources which I'm sure other will point you to. But here's my current issue:

I'm regularly getting FT-8 QSOs on 40m, 20m, and 10 m with no problems. The other night I decided to try 17m.  My Windoze computer replied "USB device not recognized."  HUH?
