[Elecraft] K3 + MicroHam MicroKeyer + Heil Proset

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

You have too many devices involved to say whether this is a problem with 
your setup and cables or whether it is a K3 problem.

Do you have anything connected between the Microkeyer and the K3 PTT 
input?  If you are going to get PTT to the K3, you must have something 
connected to the PTT input.

The other modes can use VOX to initiate transmit - my guess is that you 
have VOX set on for CW and RTTY, etc. and not for SSB.  Do you have the 
correct microphone jack (front or rear) selected?

Describe your setup in more detail, we do not have enough information to 
do any more than make guesses.

73,
Don W3FPR
