[Elecraft] K3 ERR KEY - Continuous Keying

[Gill W4RYW]

See if you can isolate the problem - Turn off the K3 & disconnect the computer from the K3, turn it on and check the config menu setting for PTT-KEY. Turn both PTT and KEY to OFF. Turn off the VOX. Turn off the K3 and reconnect the computer. Turn on K3 then start up computer. You should be ok.  If not call Aptos. otherwise go to PTT-KEY menu and turn back on whatever was originally on. If the problem re-appears, then your computer is asserting either the RTS or DTR line continually and now you have to trouble shoot the computer - likely some program or program update is screwed up. All this is assuming that sound card is clean and not activating VOX. If you turn on VOX and it keys again, then you still have a computer soundcard issue.

Good Luck
