K3S and Micro Keyer II issue

Peter Chamalian W1RM
I'm running the K3S and Micro Keyer II.  When I go on digital there are
times when the K3S appears to be putting out RF but there is none.  When I
switch to CW all's well.  

 

If I turn the K3S, Microkeyer II off and shut down the device router
software then turn it all back on, I get RF out on digital.

 

Any ideas as to what's going on and what to do about it?

 

 

Pete, W1RM

Pete,

Do you normally drive the audio to produce 4 bars solid with the 5th bar
flashing?  That is often the problem with no or low RF output.

I do not have any answers on the Microkeyer II, someone else will have
to respond to that.

Are you following the instructions in the microHAM MK II Users Manual,
and the example configurations for MK II and your software?

What do you mean "appears to be putting out RF but there is none"?
What constitutes "apparent RF" - a Wattmeter indication, indicated
ALC of four bars, the TX LED?
