The WinKey is in standalone mode? How is it powered? If it's self-powered, have you checked the battery? Does it do this on BOTH keying outputs?

At first, it was after I'd change from SSB to CW. The WK sidetone is still audible, but the rig won't key. Lately, I've had it quit in the middle of a QSO as I'm sending. This morning, it happened when I tried to reply about midway through the QSO. It seems to be happening with more frequency. On Monday night, I did perform a reset/restore of the K3 configuration. I've been able to get things going again by disconnecting the RCA end (K3 to WK cable) from the back of the WK and shorting out the tip/ground. I can then plug it back into the WK and continue. Also, it happens even with only 5 watts output. I realize this is a odd issue, but hope someone may have had a similar experience or can offer some tips for diagnosing the problem. 73, Jed AD7KG ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
