Please read and study the microKEYER II Users Manual!
All PTT inputs (PTT port, 2nd PTT Port, WinKey PTT, Foot switch, mic
PTT, etc.) are in parallel (just like the K3). The PTT Outputs are
selected on the PTT Tab in microHAM Router - with PTT1 being the PTT
connector on the mic cable and PTT2 being the PTT connected to the
back of the rig (ACC jack for the K3).
If you have a PTT1 LED on MK II, you must connect the mic plug
to the rig in order for it to actually key the rig.
If you want to use PTT2, you need to select PTT2 for FSK/DIGITAL
on the PTT tab in microHAM Router, the K3 must be in FSK, AFSK A
or DATA A mode, and microHAM Router must be able to "read" CAT
data (frequency and mode) from the rig.
BTW, I see that Airlink Express has made substantial changes since
the set-up example was written. It looks like FSK works properly
now (even though there are still significant user interface issues)
- but I will need to update the example(s) to cover FSK at some point.

Thanks for the reply Joe,, I didn't explain very well.
I am trying to work with Airlink express, I have com6 set on PTT2 on
the router, (com6 shows on the router as open). PTT1 is none (no com port)
And com6 for RTS on Airlink setup.
Going to transmit a red triangle comes up on com6, but only PTT1 LED
comes on.
Ideas please.
Thanks
Ross
ps: at least the incoming audio is working ok

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Microham keyer II
Using Airlink Express (or any other digital program) I can get the
PTT LED on the Microham to come on but it doesnt bring the k3 into
tx.
*Which PTT LED?* There are two PTT LEDs on microKEYER II (PTT1 which
is the mic PTT and PTT2 which is the ACC jack PTT) and one on the K3.
As documented in the microKEYER II Users Manual and the configuration
examples for several popular software packages, you should configure
your digital software to generate PTT by raising the RTS line on a
virtual serial port. In addition, Router/MK II should generally be
configured to assert PTT2 when transmitting digital modes.

I have plugged the microham into the ACC socket, to try to get the K3
to transmit, but that doesn’t work.
I have used the setup given in the Microham manual, so far no luck.
Ideas please as to what I am missing.
Thanks
