K3 w/ straight key

[Jim Hoge-2]

I have always used my K3 with paddles but today wanted to play with a straight key and a sideswiper. For the life of me, I cannot find out how to turn the keyer off in the manual. The closest I thought I had come was VOX/PTT  and I have also scanned through the config and menu to no avail. Perhaps it is just sleep deprivation preventing me from this but please.... how do I do this?
Tnx es 73,Jim W5QM

Hi Jim,

I don't know that you would have to turn off the keyer, per se. Just plug
in the straight key to the "key" jack and leave your paddles plugged in to
the "paddle" jack. Then, either would work.

Correct.  With the K3, you can have a paddle, bug and straight key all
connected at the same time and switch back and forth between them
(straight key and bug connected together.)    I have mine set up that
way.   No configuration changes required.
