KX3 CW Decode

[Aaron K5ATG]

I am in the process of learning CW and I am having a little bit of issue
with my KX3 on decoding CW. I am wanting it to be able to decode CW on TX
only so I can work on sending. By pressing the DATA button I selected TX
ONLY and I have the power setting at 0.0 watts into a dummy load. I am
using the plug in paddles for the KX3. However it will not decode anything.
I tuned to a strong signal and tried the different RX Thresholds and it
would not decode anything there either. I am not sure if I have it set up
right or I am missing a setting or something. Can anyone please help?

Thank you
Aaron Scott K5ATG

Aaron,

To decode CW, you need to be in CW mode, not DATA.
You need to set the TEXT entry to TX only.  See the Text Decode and
Display in the manual.

It seems you turned text decode to TX only. This will decode what you send with paddles (not hand key) but will not decode received stations.
