You CAN transmit by touching the key...IF your keyer has a PTT connection to
the K3.  I was tripped up by this yesterday while testing a new firmware
release.  I had forgotten I had connected my Winkeyer's PTT1 output to the
K3 PTT In on the rear panel.  I always have my foot switch connected via the
front panel MIC connector using the Heil AD-1K adapter, but I had forgotten
about the rear panel connection.  This was with CONFIG PTT-KEY: OFF-OFF.

P.S.  I believe Nabble has now fixed their quoted text attribution
problems...we'll see if this post goes through correctly!
