That's a good suggestion and it worked! I tried it at 38400 and 19200 and they
both worked. When I went down to 9600 and 4800 it quite working.
Unfortunately, I've got an SPE amp that has to be in the same chain of
equipment and that fastest it will talk is 9600.
Funny though, that the k3s will talk to the computer software and the amp at
4800 baud if the panadapter isn't in the chain.
The panadapter will only talk to the k3s at 38400 and enforces the 38400 baud
rate by automatically setting the k3s to 38400. But even when it is talking to
the k3s at 38400 it lets me set its output baud rate to whatever I want.
So.... the strange thing is that if I set the panadapter output to 38400 or
19200 it works fb with the computer logging software ( but not the amp cuz it
won't go that high) but if I set the panadapter output to 9600 or 4800 it won't
talk to the computer logging software but it will talk to the elecraft k3
utility at the slower baud rate. If I take the panadapter out of the chain the
k3 and amp and computer software will all happily talk to each other at 4800
baud.
Now I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a baud rate converter that I
could put inline with the amp to turn the 19200 baud rate into 4800 so it'll
talk to the amp? I'm off to scour the internet.

Try setting everything to 38400 and see if that helps. The P3 needs to chit
chat with the K3 and that’s best done quickly.
I haven’t tried 4800, but 38400 works here fir me.
