K3/microKeyer II -- paddle Tx with power, mK II TX no power

Richard-3
I've replaced my 746 with a K3.  Using a microKeyer II between the radio and computer, and it played well with the 746.  When I test the winKeyer from the mHam router, I see CW and PTT1 light on the mK II and see TX light on the K3, but --no-- power out.  If I key the rig via paddles, I see TX light on the K3 and see power out on the SWR meter.

I'm guessing I have missed a K3 config setting, but have not found it over the weekend.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

Rich,

Try a quick test - plug the paddles into the KEY jack and close the dot
contacts on the paddles.  If the K3 transmits, then the KEY jack is
operating properly - look at your WinKeyer for the solution to your
problem (it is not providing a sufficiently low resistance for keying).
