I use MixW for AFSK RTTY and I thought I had successfully set it up. But
something unusual happened. I noticed that if the K3 was in CW mode when I
started MixW the K3 immediately began transmitting as if the key input was
activated. If the VOX was off I would still have the key closure (as
evidenced by the tone in the monitor) but of course it would transmit. While
this is happening you can't change the K3 mode. You have to disable CAT on
MixW (or quit MixW) and then change the K3 mode.
The problem was my MixW settings. I had the RTS and DTR set for Always On. I
checked the MixW reflector and found the suggested settings of:
RTS set to PTT
DTR set to CW
MixW now works properly in digital modes and will not erroneously activate
transmit if the K3 is in the wrong mode. It does transmit CW properly in the
MixW CW mode.
