Trouble configuring a K3, MicroHAM Microkeyer 2 and N1MM+

I've been having issues getting my MK2 work with a new-to-me K3 and N1MM+

At the moment, CW works as expected, EXCEPT when I use the footswitch. When use it, the PTT1 light stays lit and the radio goes into transmit and won't get out of it -- you have to turn off the rig. The PTT! light stays on after the rig's shut off. You have to turn the MK2 on and off for the PTT1 LED to turn off.

When in the phone (SSB) mode, I can key the radio and hear wav files (audio) out of the rig's speaker, but no audio is transmitted. Likewise, I don't hear anything from the microphone. The same scenario re-occurs with the footswitch as when in CW.

I originally had an issue of the radio keying and staying keyed when I plugged in the MK2’s PTT cable to the rig. That went away, but I'm not quite sure why or how.

And yes, I have RTFM and N1MM+ setup notes many times. I clearly could have missed something. Just what that may be, I do not know!

Thanks & 73,

Eric W3DQ

Was the MK II previously used with an Icom transceiver? Is the I
"ICVOX" jumper installed? See: "Preparing MK II for use" in the
MK II Users Manual.
