[Elecraft] Tuning AL-811H

[Don Wilhelm]

Ian,

That is because you are using the paddle input.  Use the Hand Key 
input.  If you do not have a hand key, get yourself a 1/4 inch stereo 
plug - connect one wire to the tip and another to the shell - on the 
other end of those wires, put a pushbutton, or a toggle switch or 
whatever you desire to use - in any case, shorting the two wires 
together will cause the K3 to transmit in CW mode.

As has been mentioned already, you can also use TUNE, and there is a 
menu item to set the TUNE POWER should you choose to do that.

73,
