K3 ERR KEY

[Phil LaMarche-2]

This happened a month ago and then went away.  Now it's coming on more
regular.  Usually I remove the power and when turned back on, it's gone.
Today I have put it off and on 6/7 times and it still remains.  Checked all
the PTT connections etc and OK.  Even removed the PTT mike.  No key
attached.  Ideas?

If you have an attached computer and have set things so the RS232 port
can assert PTT (CONFIG:PTT-KEY), it may be that when you power up the K3
the computer RTS or DSR line(s) are in a state to be interpreted as an
assertion of PTT.
