I use N1MM and have no experience setting up Wintest.  However if you 
are attempting to key the K3 on the serial CAT port, you need to do the 
following:

1.  Set Wintest to send CW on RTS

2.  In the PTT-KEY menu on the K3 [TECH MD has to be ON], set it to put 
CW on rtS.

You can also set up PTT on DTR if you want semi-QSK, I run full QSK and 
don't use the PTT signal, and I key the K3 with a WinKeyUSB keyer.  if 
you're using an external keyer, Wintest will need to know the COM port 
number of the keyer and to direct CW to that port.

Maybe you've already been through all this.

Merry Christmas,
