[Elecraft] K3 CW Output on Tune, not on Transmit

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I am not sure I am following.  Please restate the problem.

You can hit the tune button and get power out but if you switch to cw mode
and hit the paddle nothing is transmitted?

Has this been resolved? If yes, how? 

I have the same problem right now. Tuning works, but xmit does not.
Neither the button not the paddle. 

Help! I need to work K5P :-)
