[Elecraft] K3 - Linking the VFOs for CW - SSB switching

[hank k8dd]

I don't know about "Auto CW or SSB"
I can hear the CW pileup now ...... some guy hits his foot switch as he
leans
over to grab the spilled beverage and says "oh darn" or something like that,
and the rest of the world knows he has (a) a K3 and (b) spilled his beer.

There's a lot more that I'd rather see on the K3.
