[Elecraft] K3 PTT - WHHTLOT

[Fred (FL)]

After the 28 posts on "K3 PTT", I'm thinking we
haven't heard the last of this!

Wow - 45 versions and re-explanations of what the
K3 PTT function is.  In just CW?  As a non-contestor,
getting back into hamradio ham - I'm starting to 
think the K3 is getting perhaps too complex, for
normal operation.  I'm serious.  Its starting to
resemble a 747 dashboard.

Foot switches, PTT's, Key Down, Key Up, RF
Out, No RF, No Receive, Receive ......
and Knife Switches!  PTT CW?  PTT SSB,
PTT WFM?  Neon tuning tube?  Who's on first?

I hope Elecraft has a very good Technical Writer
on this one.  Lots of room, for misinterpretaton
and confusion remains IMHO.   When even Don,
got into this - I knew it was a confusing
topic.  Sounds like a long well-worded 
paragraph or 2, with some flow diagrams is in
order.  And especially include it in the 
"preliminary startup" description.
