[Elecraft] K3 PTT IN on back panel

[J.K. Hooper]

To those of you who responded: Thanks! 

Operator error is my conclusion.   

I did check continuity on the foot pedal and it is working just fine.     This time when I pushed the RCA plug from the foot pedal back in, I pushed it in to be secure but did not over push.  It keyed up the transmit just fine and I had correctly set the Mic input source for the back panel.   I worked central Mexico from here in Washington with the headset and foot switch.   That was fun; I like the foot switch.

It doesn't key the headset - it keys the transceiver ;)

Is the TX LED not turning on when you actuate the footswitch? Have you
tested the switch (with a continuity tester) to ensure that it is
closing when actuated?

Make sure you have it plugged into PTT IN and not KEY OUT....
