I have been unable to get my new BY-4 paddle keyer to work with my new K3. The BY-4 is connected to the K3 using the Bencher Universal Hook-up kit cable as follows:
Black: ground
White: right paddle
Red: left paddle
The K3 seems to be configured correctly. Tone volume level and keyer speed have been set. The unit is in Test mode, per directions in the owner's manual.
The Bencher factory cable comes wired to a 1/8" plug. The kit includes a 1/4" adapter. When sliding the 1/4" plug into the Paddle jack of the K3 I noticed that I first hear a series of continuous dashes, then continuous dots and alternating dashes, and then nothing after the plug is fully seated into the jack. When the paddles are touched afterward nothing is triggered.
Is something wrong with the Bencher cable plug or its adapter? Perhaps the way the plug (or adapter) is factory wired it does not work with all transceivers. If so, what should I buy to replace the cable and plug? How should it be wired?
Thank you for your help.
