[Elecraft] K3 CW data mode

[Mike Scott]

I am a complete data-mode neophyte.
I have Ham Radio Deluxe v.4.0 and DM780 v.4.0.
I am enjoying being able to decode PSK31 and CW. Receiving is working well.

I tried to send CW from the keyboard (DM780 using HRD for PTT) and got the
PTT to work but no CW RF signals out. I am using a serial interface. I read
about keying interfaces but with all of the advances in the K3 why can't I
key CW over the serial interface? Is this a feature I haven't learned how to
operate or is it a feature that belongs on the list? Maybe it isn't possible
for some physics reason.

The world of data modes is very radio and interface specific. Where can I
learn exactly what I need to do with a K3 and HRD/DM780? I subscribe to the
HRD reflector but the K3 is a different beast and that site is for every
radio on the planet. I need hand holding specific to a K3, step by step
without anyone thinking I know what they are talking about. Is there a
resource?
