I had a very similar experience working in the California QSO Party. I don't think the contest logger was part of the problem since I had problems with my USB hub and most of the time the logger couldn't see the K3.

Trying to figure out a problem. I spent this weekend on the PA QSO Party. I use the K3 DVR for CQ, MyCall and QSL, TU, QRZ messages, activated by N1MM macros. When things slowed down I used repeat CQ. I have a serial port activating PTT with canned messages and my footswitch for live mic. This is my first outing with this setup. I had previously used PTT via CAT control for canned messages.

My problem is that when I activated my foot switch close to the time the repeat CQ was scheduled, I was interrupted by the CQ message when I began to talk. If the repeat CQ was not imminent, no problem

I don't know if this was a PTT race condition, or a software problem with the 
contest logger.

Any insight would be appreciated.
