[Elecraft] Re: K3 keyer "mode"

[wayne burdick]

Carsten,

The K3's internal keyer presently has two iambic keying modes, A and B, 
which closely emulate Curtis mode A and Super CMOS II mode B 
respectively.

Mode A, which I use, is the default. (I think it's less error prone 
than mode B, but say this in a crowed bar and you'll start a fight for 
sure.) Some operators like mode B for its 
element-insertion-on-squeeze-release, either because it permits faster 
keying or because they learned using a mode-B keyer.

We plan to allow for turning the dot/dash memories off completely in a 
future firmware revision.

73,
