Jim,
I do not see an asterisk key on the K3S.
There is the SPOT (also "." [hold]) key that you should be using for
auto-spot. The top labels on the buttons are the tap functions. The
lower labels are the HOLD functions.
You set CWT on by a tap on the CWT button. The display should then show
the CWT indicator at the top to the left of center. If you do not have
that display, CWT is not turned on - perhaps you held the CWT button too
long (more than 1/2 second) - try again.
Narrow bandwidths work better unless there are few and widely spaced
signals on the band.
Tune so the desired signal close to the center of the CWT display, and
then tap SPOT to bring it to your set sidetone pitch.

I'm still learning my new K3S and haven't yet figured out CW auto spot. I
have auto spot turned on (tap of the 0 key) and activate auto spot by a tap
of the * key while listening to a strong CW signal. Based on my experience
with KX3 auto spot, I would expect the VFO frequency to be automatically
adjusted and for me to hear a change in the pitch of the received CW signal.
But, nothing happens. It was suggested that I widen the passband which I
did. Still nothing when I press the asterisk key.
