[Elecraft] K3 with Begali HST Key Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Gerald,

You need to wire the plug from that keyer (or build an adapter) that 
connects both the tip and ring of the paddle plug together, and then 
plug it into the hand key jack.

The K3 internal keyer does not support a Cootie key - nor does it 
support Ultimatic mode for dual lever paddles that I have been asking 
for for years, but I solved the problem with a single lever paddle.
