Joe, thanks. No VOX selected on the K3 for the straight key. VOX on,
straight key works. I do have PTT1 set in the microKeyer II.
Operator error as expected.

Is the K3 CW VOX enabled or are you using PTT from MK II?

I'm trying to use a Begali Spark straight key and a Bencher BY-1 paddle
plugged in at the same time (I only use them one at a time) via a Y
cable. I understand that this should work, but I'm missing something.
The Bencher is connected to my microKeyer II which is normally connected
to the K3 back panel Key jack. This works FB.
Then I inserted a stereo Y cable into the system between the K3 Key jack
and the microKeyer II and connected both keys (Begali stereo into one
female end, and the microKeyer II key plug into the other). The Bencher
works, the Begali doesn't. I reversered the keys and the Bencher still
works, the Begali doesn't.
Works means that I hear dits and dahs and see power out. Doesn't work
means I hear dits and dahs but no power out.
I used a different Y with the same results.
I verified that the Begali is set up with tip and sleeve connected.
The Begali does not key power when plugged into the K3 Key jack alone.
I must have a setting wrong or something, but I'm missing the detail.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
