[Elecraft] K3 and QSK

[Bill Coleman N2BC]

This was an issue with the early Orion also. As I understand it, PTT in CW was eventually implemented on the Orion.

Some of the contesting software will raise PTT and delay a user specified time before keying to let the T/R switching settle.  Also, on all the YaeCOMWood rigs I have used, releasing PTT returns to RX 'instantly' - cancelling any delay set for semi-breakin.

Not having a QSK amplifier, and not particularly caring for QSK at all, PTT in CW capability is important to me.  I routinely stomp on the foot switch to eliminate the clatter during CW contacts with my ICOM rig - been doing this ever since my DX-35 & way to old to change now.

PLEASE make PTT active on CW in the K3!      PLEASE....
