[Elecraft] computer keying on startup

Doug,

The computer will "exercise" the serial port lines when it goes through 
its startup diagnostics.
So if you have the K3 PTT-KEY menu set to anything other than OFF-OFF, 
it will key the K3 momentarily.

If you are not using the PTT-KEY function, then turn it off.  If you are 
using it, the only solution is to either power the computer before the 
K3 or put the K3 into TX TEST before powering the computer.

73,
Don W3FPR
