[Elecraft] K3 PTT ERROR
K3 in use with KPA1500; sometimes I get a seemingly random PTT error; any ideas what to look for?

[Elecraft] K3 PTT Error
Been reinstalling my K3 serial 1391 back into the shack and was connecting it to the MicroHam USB 3 and was getting some PTT Errors that aren't there if I remove the USB 3. Does all sorts of funky things with the display like blanking out the frequency in the VFO, and other general inconveniences. I also have a BY-1 paddle set up and have the key output connected to my SPE 1K. I plan to build a cable for ALC this weekend but have been running it through amp more for antenna switching purposes than for QRO. Any thoughts on what I should do or what setting I am missing. I have the PTT set currently for Config:Off-RTS. I am wondering if this is where I am going wrong.
