Good morning. I am having a problem getting my K3S to save in the config menu the setting for PTT-PTT. When I set it for RTS-DTR, hit menu it works fine. Then I turn the radio off and back on and the PTT-PTT setting is back to OFF-OFF. What am I doing wrong? How do I get the Config menu to save the PTT-PTT setting to RTS-DTR?

Jeff,
I have no idea what you are doing wrong, but here are a few thoughts: After making the menu change, are you exiting from the menu? Tap the MENU button. Are you 'pulling the plug" when you say you turn the radio off and back on? Just like your computer, you must use the POWER button if the state is to be saved. Do you have anything plugged into the USB or RS-232 port that might be causing a command to reset the menu entry? Pull out the USB cable and/or the RS-232 cable and try again. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/24/2016 9:24 AM, Jeff wrote: > Good morning.

Did you use the K3S' Power Button to power down? If not, settings may not be saved.

Hello.
Have check now and find - PTT setting is not saved. I have set it to RTS-OFF, after turning off (by power button, not by power supply) and turning on again - setting of PTT is OFF-OFF. s/n of TRX is 10944 with firmware 5.50.

Could this be the reason. Does the K3S need to be switched off of safe mode for the PTT-PTT settings to not change?
PTT/KEY USE WITH THE USB PORT IMPROVED: Some PC applications can control PTT and KEY at the K3S via the RTS/DTR signals of the USB port. However, use of these signals may also allow the PC’s USB port initialization to unexpectedly activate transmit at the K3S. This can happen if the computer is turned on after the K3S, or if the USB cable is not connected. There is now a "Safe" mode (the default) which disables PTT-KEY transmit until the K3S receives a command via USB, such as a read of the rig's VFO frequency. To turn on safe mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on. Applications that use PTTKEY via USB but never send commands may require "UNSAFE" mode. In this case, unwanted transmit can be avoided by turning the PC on before the K3S. http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740258E%20K3S%20Owner's%20man%20errata%20A1-2.pdf Gene, N9TF ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dimitry Borzenko" <[hidden email]> To: "elecraft" <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, October 24, 2016 10:28:25 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] (no subject) Hello.

Winner, Winner chicken Dinner!!! Tnx Gene for providing what seems to be the answer to my problem. By selecting the”Unsafe” mode in the Config menu for the USB port as described below, the K3S now works in RTS-DTR every time. I appreciate your help. This group is truly something else when it comes to helping each other out. Not necessarily included in the price of the radio, but one of the benefits of owning an Elecraft product. Tnx agn to All who replied directly and through the Elecraft reflector.

Hi.
Gene - thank you!!! I do not need to change setting to "UNSAVE" mode. When my log connected with K3S - PTT setting is returned as was set. Excellent "Safe mode" add-on !!

I have the same problem. There is a Safe Mode (somewhere?) which allows you to do this, otherwise the K3S goes to transmit when controlled by USB and the PC is turned off.

Danny,
You will find that in the firmware release notes. This one is from MCU 5.33 dated Aug 2015. "To turn on safe mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on." When upgrading firmware, it is always a good idea to review the firmware release notes between your present level and the new level being loaded - that way you will know about things like this and should have no surprises. These recent changes have not made it into the manual yet. Consider the firmware release notes as updates to the manual. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/24/2016 1:23 PM, [hidden email] wrote: > I have the same problem.
