My guess it you have not set the menu CONFIG: TX INH.  You have 
choices of how you want it to work.  (see page 19 of the K3 manual).

I select HI=inh so that a 5v voltage will inhibit the K3 
transmitter.  Bringing pin-7 on the ACC jack to ground enables the 
transmitter to output RF.  One should use the fourth-stage of a 
sequencer to control the inhibit ckt as I have indicated on my 
website.  Your DCW-2004 is capable of doing this with the proper connection.

Do not try to control anything with pin-7 if you plan to use 
inhibit.  Transverters and amps should be controlled from the 
DCW-2004 (stage three), instead.
