Bingo! The line from the key terminates in a 1/8" jack. The adapter from their to the 1/4" K3 jack was somehow bad. No short in the jack or in the key line separately. But, when connected together, there was the short between the tip and the ring. Damnedest thing.

Thanks, Bill. Now on to the contests. Just love this list.

A short in the keying path - most likely external to the K3. At the key,
inside the plug?  Just a shot in the dark.
