Hi,

I have a strange issue with the following set-up: K3/KPA500/KT500 connected with the serial cables 
for control and keying.

I also have a KD9SV DXpedition II rx ant switch attached directly to the K3's Key Out for switching.

For some reason, when TXing CW via Logger32's CW Machine, the Key Out is not working so the rx 
switch isn't switching back to the TX antenna as it should.

This only happens on CW using the CW Machine. Having the VOX on or off makes no difference.

The CW Machine is keying correctly thru the K3/KPA500/KAT500 combo.

The CW Machine settings are :

PTT on selected port

Share radio serial port for CW

But what I notice is that the check marks beside these settings are red... and I wonder what that is 
indicating???

Not sure if this is a software issue or a compatibility thing.

Cheers,
