Ok so you are saying I don't need to set up the xbee to send on serial3 in xctu, just the teensy?
I was just using the example code that ships with the teensyduino software and changing the Serial to Serial3 on line 10
#define HWSERIAL Serial3
and it compiled just fine, I just can't get XTCU to find the radio.
I might be horribly confused. It's possible.
When I used the sparkfun shield I just used the sparkfun explorer to read all my radios then set them up then I put them out into the world on teensys and left one on my machine as a receiver using the explorer.
I saw on Paul's post that you could connect directly to the xbee in xtcu using these shields. I am super sure this is newbie shield user foolishness.
Thanks.

You must select Serial from the "Tools > USB Type" menu
