K3S and N1MM+ on cw with no interface

I’m trying to get my K3S and N1MM+ to work on cw without an interface (which I have used in the past). I’ve tried a couple of the suggestions I’ve seen on the reflector but none of them seem to work.

I’m sure someone has figured out an easy way to do this and would appreciate the info.

Thanks,

Jim

Re: K3S and N1MM+ on cw with no interface

You need some sort of connection between the radio and computer. Simplest is the USB cable that came with your K3S. Set CONFIG/PTT/KEY to RTS DTR on the radio of in n1mm+ go to Configure and set the com port (from Win device manager “ports”) and set the radio and then set KEY and PTT same as you did the radio.

Jim,

I have this exact setup and used it with success in the CW SS contest.
Here's what you need to know once you have the K3S talking to N1MM:

On the K3S, navigate to the 'PTT-KEY' Config option and set it to
'rts-dtr'. Leave VOX turned off.

In N1MM:

with the port to match your K3S and SOxx set as desired, then:

N1MM will send PTT and CW via the USB port. I have a K3 (not S) but the
only difference in this case is your radio has a built-in USB to serial
converter.

I have the USB connected and am reading the frequency fine.

K3S and N1MM+ on cw with no interface

In reply to this post by Jim Cary

I have N1MM+ and a K3 working together on CW, with no interface. My K3 does have the KIO3b option, though I don't know if that matters.

I don't remember having to do anything other than plug and play, using the USB-serial cable from Elecraft. To get them to communicate requires configuring the ports and protocols in the N1MM+ program, through the file:config tabs, but I am sure you have done that already. What happens when you try it?
