Could this be the reason. Does the K3S need to be switched off of safe mode for the PTT-PTT settings to not change?
PTT/KEY USE WITH THE USB PORT IMPROVED: Some PC applications can control PTT and KEY at the K3S via the RTS/DTR signals of the USB port. However, use of these signals may also allow the PC’s USB port initialization to unexpectedly activate transmit at the K3S. This can happen if the computer is turned on after the K3S, or if the USB cable is not connected. There is now a "Safe" mode (the default) which disables PTT-KEY transmit until the K3S receives a command via USB, such as a read of the rig's VFO frequency. To turn on safe mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on. Applications that use PTTKEY via USB but never send commands may require "UNSAFE" mode. In this case, unwanted transmit can be avoided by turning the PC on before the K3S. http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740258E%20K3S%20Owner's%20man%20errata%20A1-2.pdf Gene, N9TF ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dimitry Borzenko" <4z...@bezeqint.net> To: "elecraft" <Elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Monday, October 24, 2016 10:28:25 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] (no subject) Hello.

Tap the MENU button. Are you 'pulling the plug" when you say you turn the radio off and back on? Just like your computer, you must use the POWER button if the state is to be saved. Do you have anything plugged into the USB or RS-232 port that might be causing a command to reset the menu entry? Pull out the USB cable and/or the RS-232 cable and try again. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/24/2016 9:24 AM, Jeff wrote: > Good morning. I am having a problem getting my K3S to save in the config menu the setting for PTT-PTT. When I set it for RTS-DTR, hit menu it works fine. Then I turn the radio off and back on and the PTT-PTT setting is back to OFF-OFF. What am I doing wrong? How do I get the Config menu to save the PTT-PTT setting to RTS-DTR? > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to 4z...@bezeqint.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to n...@comcast.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
