Re: [Elecraft] PTT-Key Settings won't save

This is the solution. Bob showed me how to do it before the UNSAFE option existed AFAIK. I wasn’t aware it was a fixable problem beyond booting computer first and only powering radio after everything was stable, or setting TX TEST mode. All a pain. Do this. 73 Josh W6XU > On Jul 5, 2024,

Once you learn how to fix this unwanted keying issue in Windows, there's little reason to ever use the default UNSAFE option of *CONFIG:PTT-KEY* (tap '1' to toggle between "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE"). The K4 does not have any equivalent option because it is simply not needed. To prevent unwanted

Re: [Elecraft] PTT-Key Settings won't save

Frank, Yes it should bring up RTS-DTR after the port is polled. When running with Unsafe mode, pay attention to when the K3 is turned on and when the computer is turned on.  At times, you may have to turn the computer on after the K3, and an easy way to prevent the extraneous keying is to

Re: [Elecraft] PTT-Key Settings won't save

Don, Bingo. That, in fact, was the problem. Turning on "Unsafe" solves the problem. I use cwtype which sends to the com port and doesn't poll the comm port. Assuming I was using a program like N1MM, which does read from the com port (for frequencies), do I just set the PTT-KEY to RTS-DTR and

Re: [Elecraft] PTT-Key Settings won't save

Frank, That is a "safety feature" because if the computer is turned on after the K3 is powered up, it can key the K3 when the computer tests/sets its ports. Once things have settled down at the computer, PTT-KEY should resort to whatever it was set before the power off. You can find the

Re: [Elecraft] PTT-Key Settings won't save

Just clarify this strange behavior. I use the Config Menu to set the PTT-Key to RTS-DTR. As long as I don't turn off the rig, it works correctly. Once I turn off via the front panel power switch, it loses this setting and goes back to OFF-OFF. If while it is set to RTS-DTR I do a SAVE

Evert, I am recalling that this is intentional to keep the K3/K3S from being keyed when the computer is powered up after the K3.  IIRC the mechanism is reversed after some action at the computer port. Do a search through the Firmware archives for mention of PTT-KEY to find the answer. 73,

Re: [Elecraft] PTT KEY

The PTT part of the “PTT KEY” setting can be used to turn ON the transmitter for RTTY (AFSK) and other digital modes. Use either RTS or DTR for this. The KEY portion is used to send CW (Morse code) either with the key input or paddle input. You will need VOX set to ON for this to work. Use
