Thanks to several kind correspondents on this list I have now my new K3
running flawlessly in CW-contests (N1MM) and for logging and occasional
keyboard CW (Logger32).  Maybe the following will be useful for other users:

K3:  Activate CONFIG. Find the item called PTT-KEY. Set it to *rts-dt*r.
Also check that you have VOX *on* (I used a setting of 28, quite randomly).
I use an ordinary, cheap DB9 cable (female/male) on Com 1 and the
corresponding socket on the K3. .

N1MM: Config/ports etc/hardware: Find  Elecraft K3 there. Put a checkmark in
CW/other details: Speed 4800, N, 8, 1. Be sure that the three squares
(allow... etc) are *unchecked*.
Tuning across the band  using the keyboard's arrow-up/down also works.

Logger32: Setup/Use Radio 1. Go on to Radio 1 config: Comport 1, 4800, 8,1,
none. Radio: K2/K3. All the empty squares (DTR, RTS etc) are unchecked.
Polling interval: 300. CW-machine setup: Put a check mark in SHARE RADIO
SERIAL PORT FOR CW. Under KEYING: Check AUTO TX.  Now the CW-machine in
Logger32 can also be used.

Note: For manual CW I use an external keyer, the Idiom Press SuperKeyer.
This keyer is connected to my Hexkey and my Vibroplex paddles. I
*suppose*the internal keyer can also be used instead.
