[Elecraft] K3S Power On / PTT

[Marco HB9CAT]

Thanks Lyle,

I tried the beta and it addresses exactly the issue I experienced; tried it
out, works fine :-)

 

For reference in case others experienced the same:

* PTT/KEY USE WITH THE USB PORT IMPROVED:  PC applications can activate PTT
and KEY at the K3S via the USB port's RTS/DTR signals. However, initial
setup of the rig's USB port by the PC may cause pulsed or continuous
activation of the transmitter. This can happen if the computer is turned on
after the K3S, or if the USB cable is not connected. There is now a "Safe"
mode (the default) which disables PTT-KEY transmit until the K3S receives a
command via USB, such as a read of the rig's VFO frequency. To turn on safe
mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to select "USB SAFE" or
"UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on. Applications that use
PTT-KEY via USB but never send commands may require "UNSAFE" mode. In this
case, unwanted transmit can be avoided by turning the PC on before the K3S.
