[Elecraft] K3 PTT -- done!

[Don Wilhelm]

Joe and all,

I have the same questions.

Since no one has explained the difference between 'Transmit mode' and 
"the K3 is now transmitting since QSK has been started with a keypress" 
- I would believe that the PTT input is redundant when in QSK or 
Semi-break-in modes.

Yes, a little clarification (or language lessons) seem to be appropriate 
here.
How is 'Transmit mode' different from 'transmitting already because the 
key was tapped'?
Does closing PTT when in QSK mode inhibit a return to receive until the 
PTT is released? - that is the only thing I can think of.

It certainly seems that the generation of RF is controlled by the 
paddles in any case (except for the new TX inhibit condition).  A few 
things were clarified, but confusion still reigns high in my mind.
