[Elecraft] K3: Right paddle key not working?

[James Sarte]

Hi Rick,

It was plugged into the "Paddle" jack.  I just replied to Don; did a test
where I removed the plastic plug cover and inserted the plug into the paddle
jack.  I shorted tip to ground and got dits.  Shorted ring to ground
produces nothing.

I even checked the continuity on the plug itself; all contacts are good.
Looks to me like there might be something wrong with the K3's jack or
perhaps something more... not sure yet.

Tnx,
James K2QI
