[Elecraft] K3: cw/vox/PTT ver 2.02 - bug?

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Lexa, 

I have loaded 2.02 and do not find the problems you describe ... 

If CW is set to VOX with 200 msec delay (tail) and I switch to 
USB - even with VOX off in USB - and "Auto CW" enabled I get 
the proper CW operation/power output and VOX delay.  

They only suggestion I would make for the firmware is to force 
CW VOX ON while in SSB mode if "Auto CW" is enabled.  I generally 
prefer PTT mode for both CW and SSB but it would be handy to 
override CW PTT if Auto CW was enabled. 

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
