[Elecraft] K3 / MH2 PTT problem

[Don Wilhelm]

If you are getting an ERR PTT when you power on, then either the key 
(Paddle) is closed or the PTT in the microphone is stuck in the active 
position.

Remove the hand key, paddles, any PTT switch or footswitch and 
microphone to see if the Error goes away.

If things are then OK, plug each one in one at a time and do a power 
cycle - when the Error message occurs, you will know that the last thing 
you plugged in is causing the problem.
