Had this same problem. I am not using a USB- just a regular COM port. I finally had to switch to the Kenwood TS 940 driver in n1mm. The K3 driver would go into transmit as soon as I would try to select the DTR function.

I'm using the USB to Serial cable supplied by Elecraft. The computer radio control is working fine and I'm able to get spots, change bands, QSY to spots, etc. I'm set up for SO1V. I've checked "CW" box on the same port (COM4) as is used for radio control. The N1MM K3 "SupportedRadios" page (http://pages.cthome.net/n1mm/html/English/SupportedRadios.htm) says, The K3 accepts CW on DTR (pin 4) of the same COM port you're using to control the K3. Set N1MM to send CW on that port (Ports setup), and set PTT-KEY (second K3 CONFIG menu) to OFF-DTR, and set the K3 for QSK. In other words, you don't need that transistor adapter unless you want to do SO2R. However, when I set PTT-KEY to OFF-DTR, the K3 goes into "Test" output mode and the transmitted in keyed continuously until I take it out of OFF-DTR. The K3 is set for QSK. What am I doing wrong? Any insight will be very much appreciated. 73, Bill/NG3K ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
