[Elecraft] K3: SSB + CW (Auto CW) and VOX/PTT

[Alexandr Kobranov]

update - sorry for confusion(-s), after some testing I recognized that 
no RF is on output, only PTT OUT is active and chain of relays are 
clicking....
So I am probably wrong concerning relations between AutoCW and PTT CW 
mode behaving like QSK mode as no RF is emitted.
It is not "real" QSK because only SIDETONE, RED TX Led and PTT OUT is 
activated.
But still not clear to me why PTT OUT is activated when I am in CW 
mode, PTT enabled and touching the Key?
What will be "correct" - listen Sidetone after touching key but no PTT 
OUT active, no TX LED.
That is my conclusion for now, can be changed easily :-))
