Dennis, Some questions that might perhaps throw some light on what is happening:
What method are you using for CW keying? Are you using PTT control in CW? How is N1MM+ configured to do CW and PTT keying? One particular area to look at: What is CONFIG:PTT-KEY set to on the K3? In the N1MM+ configuration is the CW/Other check box checked for the radio control port, and what are DTR and RTS set to for that port? 73, Rich VE3KI ________________________________________ From: Elecraft <elecraft-bounces at mailman.qth.net> on behalf of Dennis <egan.dennis88 at gmail.com> Sent: Monday, March 28, 2016 5:54 AM To: elecraft at mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] ERR KEY This past weekend I experienced numerous ERR KEY messages. According to the manual, this ERR code is returned when one "attempts to key the transmitter or activate PTT during power on". When this would happen, there was no power turn on, nor shorted keying lines- it was in operation with N1MM+ in an SO2R mode. What else would cause that error message? If I tried to key the radio before the PTT had been fully asserted, would I get that error? I am thinking that there is some connection between that error message and some timing elements of the PTT/Keying process that I could correct. I have another op that is getting this error in an unrelated setup. We are both using the latest K3 firmware, 5.38.
