Ken, What happens if you plug a hand key into the KX1? or paddles with the KX1 set to Hand? If it keys properly, then your problem is in the cable or in the microHam Keyer.
I guess there is also the possibility that you are getting RF feedback which locks the combination into transmit - try testing into a dummy if you are not already (either bypass the internal tuner or TUNE it to the dummy load first). 73, Don w3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Silly as it may sound I'm trying to key my KX1 using a > microHAM CW Keyer (uses Winkey), controlled by my > notebook, which will be running N1MM Logger.
