Ian, That is because you are using the paddle input. Use the Hand Key input. If you do not have a hand key, get yourself a 1/4 inch stereo plug - connect one wire to the tip and another to the shell - on the other end of those wires, put a pushbutton, or a toggle switch or whatever you desire to use - in any case, shorting the two wires together will cause the K3 to transmit in CW mode.
As has been mentioned already, you can also use TUNE, and there is a menu item to set the TUNE POWER should you choose to do that. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/19/2012 11:04 PM, Ian Kahn - Ham wrote: > Jeff, > > When I try to use CW, all I get are transmitted dits or dahs.
