[Elecraft] K3 and QSK

[Ed K1EP]

Well, the response to this was rather positive for having the ability to turn off QSK.  I, like Tree, should have included the point about having PTT input for CW.  Since I rarely use an amp or full breakin, I previously didn't have a need for a footswitch in CW.  But I now will consider it's use after reading this thread.  Thanks!
