It is sounding like he plugged the key directly in and it still did not work. Maybe there is a K3 setting incorrect like the mode or it is set to TX split on the wrong mode. Does the K3 side tone make any sound? I am curious if RTTY sends with the key plugged in?

Then plug the paddles (assuming you do not have a straight key) into the KEY jack. Do you have a 'straight key' on one side of the paddles?. If both those conditions are OK, then the K3 is OK. Look to a problem with MORTTY or your computer application. Once you have identified the source of the problem, then you can address it with the appropriate forum for that particular piece of the puzzle. If it is the K3 that is misbehaving, then email support at elecraft.com for assistance. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/22/2020 6:25 PM, Madison Jones wrote: > Thanks to everyone.
