Jim,
I do not see an asterisk key on the K3S.
There is the SPOT (also "." [hold]) key that you should be using for
auto-spot. The top labels on the buttons are the tap functions. The
lower labels are the HOLD functions.
You set CWT on by a tap on the CWT button. The display should then show
the CWT indicator at the top to the left of center. If you do not have
that display, CWT is not turned on - perhaps you held the CWT button too
long (more than 1/2 second) - try again.
Narrow bandwidths work better unless there are few and widely spaced
signals on the band.
Tune so the desired signal close to the center of the CWT display, and
then tap SPOT to bring it to your set sidetone pitch.
73,
