[Elecraft] K3 and QSK

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

The K2 TEST mode inhibits TX in CW, but it doesn't affect SSB or RTTY 
modes, only CW and TUNE.  I see the K3 has a TEST button which in the 
quickstart is listed under SSB mode as alowing "off the air 
adjustments."   I hope it applies to all modes, including CW.   For me, 
an across the board TEST gate makes more sense than saying QSK mode = 
QRT.
