paddles directly to K3 - not working

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM-2]

Hello

after many year with paddles connected to SO2R and WKUSB boxes, now I want
to setup a second station for the contest.

All is OK with N1MM sending messages stores in function keys, but I
couldn´t get working the paddles connected directly to KEY in the back of K3

No send dits, and dots are very slow and dont vary if I increase SPEED in
the K3

Any suggestions to check in MENU or CONFIG?

thanks!

Hi, Jorge,

The Key jack is for a hand key, bug, or a binary keyed stream from the
logging program/WinKey box/etc.

Paddles directly to the K3 internal keyer need to be connected to the
"PADDLE" jack and the only way to affect the speed of the K3 internal keyer
is the speed control on the front panel of the K3.

Jorge,

Plug paddles into the PADDLE jack.  The KEY jack is for hand key or the
output from an external keyer.

I think keyer speed can be set using CAT command.

KS (Keyer Speed; GET/SET)
