[K3] K3 & N1MM Problem

While doing Sweep Stakes this weekend, I ran into a K3/N1MM problem:
When I interrupted a running CW message (like a CQ) with either an
Escape or a keyboard entry, the K3 would stay in Transmit (Red TX led
illuminated, no receiver). I had to push the Transmit button to return
to Receive. I don't recall having this occur in the past.

Has anyone seen this and know how to fix it?

Re: [K3] K3 & N1MM Problem

I escaped many times and never had any issues other than the time I hit
the escape key about 50 times in a row as the computer got very
confused! I had to do a complete restart.

What do you use to interface with the radio. Baud rates, ports etc.

It happens to me frequently, exactly as you describe it. I don't know if it's a K3
glitch, or an N1MMLogger glitch. It's the ONLY problem I have with the
combination.

Do I know how to fix it? Nope.

Re: [K3] K3 & N1MM Problem

This was just discussed a few days ago. Search the list archives. If I recall correctly, it has to do with a change in N1MM and the way it passes the interrupt command to the rig. There was also a work-around proposed; again, if I remember correctly.

Re: [K3] K3 & N1MM Problem

I think that was only for the K3 DVR voice messages.

I believe this can happen if PTT is asserted to the K3 by more than
one method simultaneously. W4TV has more details. If you're handling
PTT with some keying interface, including the RTS/DTR lines on the
RS232 port, you should make sure that "PTT via Radio Command CW Mode"
is *disabled*.

Chyeck to make sure that you have enabled only one PTT method. This is
a known problem when more than one is selected. I use Winkey PTT, and
never have to worry about it.
