I've had to remove my K3S from the station again for repair. I've resurrected my
old K3 to fill in. (Always have a spare)
Since the last time this happened, I've ventured into FT8 operating and I noted
that when I used my USB to Serial converter that always worked fine in the past,
FT8 was extremely slow to connect and communicate with the K3. Figuring I might
have one of the dreaded counterfeit clone adapters I dragged out the Edgeport
serial to USB adapter.
FT8 now connected like a champ. However, and I've noted this with MMTTY
connected as well, there are instances where I go to transmit and find the TX
test mode is enabled. Furthermore, the front panel switch will not turn it
off. I have to cycle power. Additionally, I don't have to be doing anything,
it's happened with me out of the shack.
If Mt. Athos comes on and I miss it because of this I'm going to be really
POed. Any ideas?
