[Elecraft] K3 Key Out Inoperative in CW & Tune Modes

[Dennis Ward]

All:

All of a sudden, my K3 has stopped activating the Key Out while in CW
or XMIT / Tune mode.

The Key Out does work when closing the PTT input on the Mic Jack.

I received the suggestion to re-init the radio last night.  I'm not
ready to do that, as I was cautioned that saving a recent
conifguration may carry the problem with it and could very well cause
me to reload parameters manually.

I don't have much spare time for this with two toddlers in the house.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so what was the resolution?

Thank you,
