Two ways to fix this (pick one).

* In N1MM Logger, Config ->Configure Ports -> Hardware , click the
"Set" button next to the K3's COM port and change DTR and RTS to
"Always Off".

* On the K3, set CONFIG:ptt-key to "off-off"

Alternatively, you can actually use the RTS and DTR lines on the COM
port for PTT and CW keying, if you want, by configuring them to match.
