Re: [Elecraft] Firing up K3 attached to PC via USB
>From the description of K3 firmware update dated 8-3-2015 MCU 5.33 / DSP 2.86 / FPF 1.23 PC applications can activate PTT and KEY at the K3S via the USB port's RTS/DTR signals. However, initial setup of the rig's USB port by the PC may cause pulsed or continuous activation of the transmitter. This can happen if the computer is turned on after the K3S, or if the USB cable is not connected. The K3S now a "Safe" mode (the default) which disables PTT-KEY transmit until the K3S receives a command via the USB port, such as a read of the K3S VFO frequency. To turn safe mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on. Applications that use PTTKEY via USB but never send commands to the K3S may require "UNSAFE" mode. In this case, unwanted transmit can be avoided by turning the PC on before the K3S. 73 Frank W3LPL - Original Message - From: "Fred Cady" To: "Mike Flowers" , "John_N1JM" Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, February 9, 2018 12:40:42 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Firing up K3 attached to PC via USB Go to CONFIG:PTT-KEY, tap the 1 key and set USB.SAFE.

All, The alternative is to switch on computer first, then your K3.

Re: [Elecraft] Firing up K3 attached to PC via USB
No need to go into the Config menu. Put the 'Test' function on by holding the Mode^ key. Start up the PC and no TX will occur. Just don't forget to take the Test mode off again before calling that rare DX - ask me how I know... HTH 73, David G3WGN M6O k6mkf wrote > Yes, it's normal.

Re: [Elecraft] Firing up K3 attached to PC via USB
Yeah, unfortunately it is. It's Windoze checking out the serial port connection. You can avoid the problem by setting CONFIG:PTT/KEY to OFF/OFF. I have one of the PF keys programmed to access that menu item so I can set it up on the rare occasions I use computer keying (N1MM+).
