CW Type

[Greg Storms-2]

Has anyone successfully gotten CW Type to work with the K-3?  I can get
it to send the keying to the K-3 but I'm not getting RF out the door.

I have the computer connected via the RS-232.  HRD is working fine so I
don't suspect anything wrong with the connection.  When I send a letter
the red transmit indicator on the K-3 lights as if it were transmitting
but no RF out.  VOX is on.

Hi Greg,

Make sure you're not in TX TEST mode, and that the PWR control is set
to the desired level.

If CW Type is using the "KY" (CW/data keying) ASCII control command,
note that sending a '<' character puts the rig into TX TEST, and '>'
restores normal TX operation. You can test this using K3 Utility's
Command Tester screen, e.g.:

    KY <TEST >NORM;

The above line should send "TEST" in CW with no power output, then
"NORM" at the PWR knob setting.

What interface are you using? I tried it with LPT and COM just now, and
both seem to work OK.
