CW using P3, help

ac2ev
I tried using a keyboard and the P3 in data mode to send CW but it wouldn't put the K3 in transmit. I could receive and decode CW. When I tried to transmit a memory location or via typing I could hear the CW it was trying to send. The P3 displayed TX indicating it was in TX mode. But the K3 was not in transmit.

Looking through the manual it wasn't immediately apparent what I was doing wrong.

Hi Don,

It's a slow summer day so I thought I would throw a keyboard onto my P3/SVGA and give it a try. It works fine here as long as VOX is showing on the K3 display. QSK can be on or off but VOX must be visible on the K3 display.

And yes, if VOX is off you'll still hear the CW in the K3 monitor. I call this the code practice mode.

Thank you. It was the VOX setting.
