[Elecraft] K3: Configuring N1MM to send CW

[Glenn Anderson]

 Had this same problem. I am not using a USB- just a regular COM port. I
finally had to switch to the Kenwood TS 940 driver in n1mm. The K3 driver
would go into transmit as soon as I would try to select the DTR function.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3: Configuring N1MM to send CW

I'm trying to set up N1MM to send CW to my K3 for ARRL DX CW next weekend.
I'm 
using the USB to Serial cable supplied by Elecraft.  The computer radio
control 
is working fine and I'm able to get spots, change bands, QSY to spots, etc.
I'm 
set up for SO1V. I've checked "CW" box on the same port (COM4) as is used
for 
radio control. The N1MM K3 "SupportedRadios" page 
(http://pages.cthome.net/n1mm/html/English/SupportedRadios.htm) says,

   The K3 accepts CW on DTR (pin 4) of the same COM port
   you're using to control the K3. Set N1MM to send CW on
   that port (Ports setup), and set PTT-KEY (second K3
   CONFIG menu) to OFF-DTR, and set the K3 for QSK. In
   other words, you don't need that transistor adapter unless
   you want to do SO2R.

However, when I set PTT-KEY to OFF-DTR, the K3 goes into "Test" output mode
and 
the transmitted in keyed continuously until I take it out of OFF-DTR.  The
K3 is 
set for QSK.

What am I doing wrong?

Any insight will be very much appreciated.

73,

Bill/NG3K
