[Elecraft] Foot Switch Doesn't Work

[donovanf at erols.com]

Hi Eric, 


My PTT jack has 4.9 volts when unkeyed. 


This is certainly a mysterious problem... If your microphone PTT 
works then the electronics in your K3 is working properly. 


As far as I know the microphone PTT and PTT jack on the rear of the 
K3 are connected together! In a pinch it wouldn't be difficult to 
build a simple cable that allows you to use the microphone PTT 
instead of the rear panel PTT jack. Heil microphone adapters 
already do that for you.

Yes, when connected to the front panel jack, the PTT in the Kenwood MC-60 works just fine.

Does the PTT in the microphone connector work?
