[Elecraft] PTT-KEY setting for use with Writelog and DX4WIN

[Jim Brown]

First, Set the K3 just like you would for QSK (or semi-break-in, 
if that's what you want), and get it working with your paddle or 
bug. Now, without changing anything, set the K3 CONFIG:PTT-KEY to 
OFF-DTR. Now, go into WriteLog and tell it to send CW on the same 
COM port that you're using for rig control. The computer should 
now be sending CW for you.

I've been trying different DTR and RTS settings (CONFIG|PTT-KEY) to get PTT and CW to work with a 
serial port connecting my computer to my K3.  In particular I've been trying to get Writelog and DX4WIN 
to work. I'm using a real serial port and a serial cable with all pins connected.  The cable/port works fine 
for communications with the radio.  Using various settings of PTT-KEY and various setting for Writelog 
and DX4WIN, the rig goes into transmit sometimes but does not sent CW.  I've searched old emails and 
so far nothing is working.  So, if anyone has this working for Writelog and/or DX4WIN, I'd appreciate if 
you could give me know good settings or some advice in general.  It seems simple to do but I can't get it 
to work.  I had all this working with a microham micro keyer but I want to try this "simpler" approach. 

Thanks, 

Roger, W1EM
