Don, Bingo. That, in fact, was the problem. Turning on "Unsafe" solves the problem. I use cwtype which sends to the com port and doesn't poll the comm port. Assuming I was using a program like N1MM, which does read from the com port (for frequencies), do I just set the PTT-KEY to RTS-DTR and turn on USB-safe and the rig will automatically set up RTS-DTR after it receives a poll?
Thanks for the help everyone. 73, Frank On Thu, Jul 4, 2024 at 1:43 PM W3FPR <w3fpr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Frank, > > That is a "safety feature" because if the computer is turned on after > the K3 is powered up, it can key the K3 when the computer tests/sets its > ports. > Once things have settled down at the computer, PTT-KEY should resort to > whatever it was set before the power off. > > You can find the full explaination in the full firmware release notes. > It was some time ago,, so I suggest searching the release notes for > PTT-KEY to find it. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 7/4/2024 12:23 PM, Frank Stein via Elecraft wrote: > > Just clarify this strange behavior. > > I use the Config Menu to set the PTT-Key to RTS-DTR.
