[Elecraft] K3 and Microham keyer II

Thanks for the reply Joe,, I didn't explain very well.
I am trying to work with Airlink express,  I have com6 set on PTT2 on the 
router, (com6 shows on the router as open). PTT1 is none (no com port)
And com6 for RTS on Airlink setup.
Going to transmit a red triangle comes up on com6, but only PTT1  LED comes 
on.
Ideas please.
Thanks
Ross
ps: at least the incoming audio is working ok

*Which PTT LED?*  There are two PTT LEDs on microKEYER II (PTT1 which
is the mic PTT and PTT2 which is the ACC jack PTT) and one on the K3.

As documented in the microKEYER II Users Manual and the configuration
examples for several popular software packages, you should configure
your digital software to generate PTT by raising the RTS line on a
virtual serial port.  In addition, Router/MK II should generally be
configured to assert PTT2 when transmitting digital modes.
