Mike,
ERR PTT normally says a key, PTT, or some similar source is closed.
This error normally occurs only at power on time.
Take a look at how JT65 is set up to key the K3.
I can only guess but I think that may happen if you have VOX turned on
and JT65 is activating the RTS or DTR lines on the RS-232 interface, or
is also activating PTT from another source.
In other words, make sure JT65 is activating keying of the K3 with one
source (or VOX, so the audio tones initiate transmit).
If it continues, you should email K3support.

> Good afternoon group, today I have been trying to operate JT65 using my K3 in DATA A mode along with WSJT-X program. When I activate "TUNE" in the WSJT-X the K3 gives me an error message "ERR PTT" and the K3 goes back to receive. I have never had this issue in the past and have not added any new gear or changed settings. It's not doing it all the time. If I put the rig into tune via the WSJT program once every 3rd try the K3 will produce this error message. NOTE: if I put the K3 into tune via the tune button on the rig there is no issue.
