K3 issue in CW mode

I just turned on my 2m transverter and when I went back to 6m my CW doesn't work. The display shows + and T and I don't get any power out in CW. Other modes work fine. I looked at instructions but couldn't figure it out.

Re: K3 issue in CW mode

In CW mode it still will not get any power out and I am stuck with the T in
the lower right part of the display.

CW was working fine until I went to 2m and then returned back to 6m and then
subsequently to HF. All other modes are working fine.

Any thoughts or ideas of what I have done would be helpful.

Thanks,

Re: K3 issue in CW mode

I think the "T" just indicates CW decode. Hold the TEXT DEC button and
then rotate the VFO B knob until you get OFF in the VFO B section of the
display.

Nope, hold the TEST button (right hand portion of the MODE switch) until it goes away. the Flashing T indicates you have the rig in TEST mode which lets you use the keyer in CW mode without putting out any power.

Nope, if the T is showing, the rig is in "TEST" mode. Hold down the right hand portion of the MODE switch until it goes away and it'll put out power again.

OOOOPS, disregard my last -- not enough coffee. Joel was correct on that and it would have been the "TX" that was flashing if it were in the "TEST" mode -- my bad.

Re: K3 issue in CW mode

It was the VOX issue. Now need to understand why when I went from the transverter my settings changed in CW. Everything is good again.

Thanks everyone!
