It's official, my fledgling K3 gets delivered today (It's 1:30AM so 
it'll be a while yet). I am definitely having a good day.  :)

As to CW & the K3...

I use iambic paddles. I Always used keyers based on the Curtis 8044 
like the Ham Keyer HK5A. I still do. I remember the TenTec internal 
keyer was a different kind of logic and I had a terrible time with 
it. If I remember correctly, it had an issue with extra dits getting 
inserted at the end of certain characters. I went back to the "Ham 
Keyer".

Anyone know if the keying logic that's internal to the K3 is the same 
logic as the Ham Keyer HK5A? It would be wonderful to be able to plug 
the iambic paddles into the K3, shelve the HK5A and have one less 
item on my desk.

Thanks,

Gary
