[Elecraft] Re: K3 keyer "mode"

[Guido Tedeschi]

Wayne,
    please, make the K3 mode A very close to Curtis mode A.
I know people (very good CW ops) that must use external keyers (ETM or 
Curtis 8044A) with K1 and K2 because, also with mode A, they send Q 
instead of K...
Thanks and 73
Guido, ik2bcp
