K3 and N1MM help please

I can't get my K3 to respond to the N1MM "F" keys. The F keys are all
programmed and when I press one, the red TX light on the K3 lights up, the
receiver mutes, but there's no transmit signal on CW -- I haven't tried SSB
yet. The frequency on the K3 tracks fine in N1MM. The K3 is NOT in test
mode, the CW icon is on, VOX is on, QSK is on.

My N1MM settings are: Com 1, K3, no checks, 4,800, N, 8, 1, DTR Always On,
RTS Always Off. Incidentally, N1MM suggests for a K3 that both DTR and
RTS be on, but it didn't make any difference -- same result both ways. Com 3
is not checked under radio, but is checked for CW, DTR=CW, RTS=Always Off,
Tx=1. No other Com ports have checks of any kind. Incidentally, while my
reading of the N1MM instructions would make you think you need a check for
Telnet, that is not the case. Telnet works fine without a check. Packet
may not but I didn't check.

My K3 PTT-KEY setting is rts - OFF. I've tried about every PTT--KEY
setting there is and none of them work. I must say that the Config menu setting
in the K3 Owner's Manual (the latest, online) is really inadequate in my
opinion. Two of my computer savvy friends worked on this problem with me
and neither has come up with a solution.

Hoping for some light at the end of the tunnel.

73, Dave

Dave,

You need to set N1MM Logger to DTR=CW and RTS=PTT and check
CW on the radio port (uncheck CW on all other ports).

With the change to N1MM Logger, you need to set the PTT-KEY
in the K3 to rts-dtr.

Re: K3 and N1MM help please

Thanks. Was also fighting this with many combinations between the K3 and N1MM. Never would have come up with the rts-dtr. Did a few Qs with the memory and paddle, may get a few in with N1MM. This got it keying.
