Danny, Do a test without WSJT running. Set PTT key config to DTR - OFF, then cycle power on the K3S. Does that setting survive the power cycle? If so, it is not a K3S problem, look to the WSJT software for the solution. If it does not survive the power cycle, contact K3Support. 73, Don

Hi Ted, I see that you're right about no big caps on two of the relays. I was looking at the current version schematic, but there's an older one posted on W8JI's site with a completely different arrangement which must be what you had. That older circuit design is less than clever (IMHO).
