[Elecraft] Mac utility with K3S Puts K3S in TX mode!

[Keith Robinson]

Hello to all
This is Keith Robinson W4KTR
Just starting to use my new K3s and having the same issue running Win 7.
The radio goes into TX when the computer is turned off. This is of course 
when the
CONFIG:PTT-KEY is selected as RTS-DTR. When selected as OFF-OFF there is no 
issue.
Also and just as important to me is the fact that I don't seem to be able to 
get rig to play
a DVK file went sent from Writelog or N1MM.
I can send keyboard CW all day but no SSB messages. I can verify that the 
software is sending audio
to the proper device, (2- USB Audio Codec). The radio goes into TX and stays 
till the file finishes playing but there is
no audio output and the watt meter don't move.    Got any ideas ?    Help !
Thanks

We're going to try a firmware fix for this. Hopefully, a computer that's 
connected but turned off won't key the rig unintentionally, even with PTT or 
KEY in use from the port. I'll let you know.
