Some of this is a place to start:

PTT-KEY OFF-OFF (Advanced) Allows selection of RTS or DTR lines (via the USB or RS232 ports) to activate PTT or key the K3S. (See pg. 19 for connections.) Example: if the parameter is set to RTS-DTR, then the RTS line will activate PTT, and DTR will key the rig. Note: If a computer or other device asserts RTS or DTR while you’re in this menu entry, the K3S will switch to TEST mode (zero output) as a
precaution. The TX icon will flash as a reminder. To avoid this, make sure
software has flow control and/or keying options turned OFF while you’re
changing the PTT-KEY selection.


TX LED on all the time: This could indicate that PTT is being held on by external equipment. (Verify that CONFIG:PTT-KEY is set to OFF-OFF if not keying via the USB or RS232 ports. Try disconnecting equipment connected to the ACC, USB, and RS232 jacks.) Also check VOX gain (unplug mic if necessary).

Unless you NEED the option, turn it off....  IF you need it, make sure you setup flow control....

I've lost track of the (menu?) setting that prevents the K3 or K3S from
going into TX when the attached computer is powered on.  The radio goes into
TX two or three times when the computer starts.
