K3 with HRD using CW modes

[KD8NNU]

I use my K3 with HRD software and have the PTT working with all the digital modes except CW.

There are four different drop down types in HRD and I have tried them all with the PTT.   The only way I get CW to work is using VOX.

This makes no difference if I use DATA Mode, USB or LSB, or CW for the settings on the K3.

So the question is what setting am I missing as I can not send CW without VOX on.  Its just computer generated dits and dahs thru a sound card no different that any other computer digital mode which works fine for me.

I can live with VOX but then if I forget to turn it off it creates other potential problems.   So basically I am thinking I am missing something in the setup.

Don,

The K3 requires VOX be active to send CW.  Please check the K3 user's
manual under CW operations.

I do not know what *cwky* might be, but the K3 will respond to a key
closure if VOX is selected.   If VOX is not selected, one must close PTT
or tap the XMIT button to enable the transmit mode before beginning CW
transmission.

Thanks everyone who replied.

I now have the K3 responding with using PTT and not needing VOX selected.

I also have it so that it is not creating CW from the sound card so that the
K3 is doing all the work.

This is a great list as I had been asking this question for a few days on
the HRD formum and this group had me the answer within 1/2 hour of the first
post this morning.

Now next step is to get CW in my brain so that I don’t need HRD DM780 any
more for this mode.

Cheers
Don
