[Elecraft] [K3] CW VOX stuck on, v2.0

Round two on this.
After re-reading one earlier post and then looking at what Ken said, I am
going to modify my post.
I thot the problem was that the radio stayed keyed on. I did not/do not have
that problem.
My radio functions exactly as Ken described, which is to say that I have rf
out when keying.....with no PTT keyed.

While we're on this subject, I noticed that the delay for tx dropout
(assuming semi break-in/vox mode) changes from ssb to cw.
IOW, say you're on ssb and hit the key to reply to someone calling on cw,
the delay from tx back to rx is pretty short, and bears no resemblance to
what I dialed in on cw. I would have thot that the delays would be/could be
selected separately by mode and then stored in memory. Guess not.

Problem exists here with 2.00 (I'm not gonna reload 1.99 to check it). 
Everything all right *except* in CW mode when I shift from VOX to PTT. 
In PTT mode with all known PTT inputs disconnected, keying in CW using 
either the internal keyer or an external keyer, causes RF to appear at 
the output connector.

Definitely a bug.
