[Elecraft] K3 hand key input question

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

It is difficult to say whether you have a K3 problem or a keyer problem.

What happens when you plug a straight key into the KEY jack and close 
the key?  If the K3 goes into TX, then the K3 is OK, check your external 
keyer and its cable to the K3.

Should you not have a hand key, just put a 1/4 inch phone plug into the 
jack and short between the tip and the sleeve.
