[Elecraft] ERR KEY with Bencher Paddle

[Larry Snyder]

I bought a Bencher BY Series Iambic Paddles BY-1 and have it connected to
the Paddle connection on the back of the K3.

 

Both contacts are such that a piece of paper can go between the contacts on
post and the paddle

 

When I turn on the K3 I get ERR KEY

 

I have VOX enabled.

 

On the bottom of the paddle I have the white wire on the left (when looking
down from the top) and the red on the right.

 

I check it with a meter and the paddle seems to be working fine.

 

Any ideas?  Do I need to change some of the settings in the radio?
