[Elecraft] K3 and N1MM help please

[sfbonk at aol.com]

Thanks. Was also fighting this with many combinations between the K3 and N1MM. Never would have come up with the rts-dtr. Did a few Qs with the memory and paddle, may get a few in with N1MM. This got it keying.

Dave,

You need to set N1MM Logger to DTR=CW and RTS=PTT and check 
CW on the radio port (uncheck CW on all other ports).

With the change to N1MM Logger, you need to set the PTT-KEY 
in the K3 to rts-dtr.
