Hello Don, Thank you very much for the clarification. I guess I just dont' have that option available to me, since I use a sequencer to activate the PTT line of the K3.

It might have something to do with which was the grounded side of my KEY that was inserted into the KEY jack in the back of the rig, but I don't know for sure about that. I will try to experiment with that when I have a chance. Thanks very much for your clarification. Anyway, the K3 is working properly for digital modes input in through the mic jack again now that I have opted out of the "SSB+CW" option.
