[Elecraft] K3 PTT -- done!

[Don Wilhelm]

Vic,

That clarifies part of it - but 'transmit mode' apparently is not 
defined as "the presence of RF" - it simply means that the K3 will not 
return to the receiving condition (if I understand what you mean 
correctly).  Please confirm or provide an alternate explanation of 
"Transmit Mode".
