ERR KEY

I have installed the new version of WSJT-X and when changing the bands on
my K3s, I get the ERR KEY code on the display and the K3s is forced into
Tx. I must power cycle the K3s to clear, but repeats when I go to these
bands again.

This occurs only on 80, 20, 17, 15, 10, & 6M, the other bands are fine?

Any ideas?

Re: ERR KEY

As a self check, my K3, (not S), works fine with the new version, 1.7.

73s and thanks,

Do you have "Allow Tx frequency changes while transmitting" TX
checked under Settings?

Unplug everything but power and antenna. Begin adding cables one at a time.

What mode is in use on each of those bands? Check VOX.

My first guess is that either DTR or RTS is being asserted by WSJT and
you have it configured in your K3 for PTT. CONFIG --> PTT-KEY -->
OFF-OFF will do it if that's the case. Happened to me.

Re: ERR KEY

I like using assigning rig to DXLabs Commander. Seems to work very smoothly
so far. That way there are no port conflicts and I don't need to kill my
logging program (DXLabs Suite) to run WSJT-x.
