[Elecraft] K3 ERR KEY/PTT Problem

[K4IA at aol.com]

Most likely it is your logging control program  that is already asserting a 
PTT signal when you turn on the radio. Check your  PTT settings, RTS, DTR . 
 Make sure you boot the logging software after you  have the radio on.

Wayne, Eric and Gang,
I am planning to take my K3 to Aruba Tuesday  night, but in testing it out 
on 
phone just now, I started getting ERR KEY  messages, which change to ERR 
PTT 
if PTT is asserted.  The radio seems  to receive ok but won't transmit.  
The 
menus also don't  appear.
The manual says this is due to asserting key or ptt line in  power up, but 
it happened when the radio was already on.
Not sure  of the firmware I'm using (can't communicate with the radio) but 
I think  it's 3.83 and 2.54. The radio is Ser. 076.
Any thoughts? Need to fix  this quickly for WPX, or I'll have to go back to 
using our Pro2  (ugh!)
73, andy, ae6y
