K3 Key Out Inoperative in CW & Tune Modes

Dennis Ward
All:

All of a sudden, my K3 has stopped activating the Key Out while in CW
or XMIT / Tune mode.

The Key Out does work when closing the PTT input on the Mic Jack.

I received the suggestion to re-init the radio last night.  I'm not
ready to do that, as I was cautioned that saving a recent
conifguration may carry the problem with it and could very well cause
me to reload parameters manually.

I don't have much spare time for this with two toddlers in the house.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so what was the resolution?

Thank you,

Dennis KT8X

  Dennis,

Save the configuration and do the EEINIT, then restore the configuration.

At most you might have to enter one menu parameter manually - but only
if it is wrong in your K3 right now.  If all your menu items are correct
now, they will restore correctly.

Having to manually change one parameter is far different from having to
manually restore them all.  Your source seems to have blown things out
of proportion.
