[Doug]

Guys
I know we have been over this before but I can't find it in the archive.
My computer keys my rig 3 or 4 times on startup.  It never used to do it so
last time this came up I didn't make a note.Sorry for the rehash but I need
help  Doug WD8Z

Doug,

The computer will "exercise" the serial port lines when it goes through
its startup diagnostics.
So if you have the K3 PTT-KEY menu set to anything other than OFF-OFF,
it will key the K3 momentarily.

If you are not using the PTT-KEY function, then turn it off.  If you are
using it, the only solution is to either power the computer before the
K3 or put the K3 into TX TEST before powering the computer.

73,
Don W3FPR

That works but WSJT i.e. can't find the KIO3B com port in my setup when
the K3 is off while powering the computer first. Although the com port
is listed in the device manager. Kinda strange... (Win7 Pro).
That happens both on my desktop and on my notebook.

This is usually caused by windows searching for a serial mouse on
startup.  See the link below to disable this.
This applies to Win 10 also!

If the K3 is in CW mode, the computer may key the rig, but there is no
RF output (unless you hold the key down.)  No harm, no foul.
