[Elecraft] k3 being turn on when N1MM is activated

[Don Wilhelm]

Jerry and Guy,

The connector pin problem does not usually manifest itself as something 
"extra" happening, but something that does not work.

I would suggest first unplugging everything except power and a coax to a 
dummy load.  Make sure the K3 operates correctly - plug mic or paddles 
or key in one at a time to make checks on them.
Then connect the RS-232 cable and run N1MM to see if that now behaves 
normally.
Lastly, plug in the AUX I/O cable and see what happens.

I would suggest that there is something wrong with the AUX I/O cable - 
shorting pin 8 to ground.

73,
