[Elecraft] Tube Amplifiers

This would be an option to have the TUNE hold function send
interrupted 40 wpm dots instead of a solid tone? I'd use it all the
time. Personally I don't normally need TUNE except to tune an amp
behind the K3.

All my amps are tubes.  I'm waiting for a ham band 1500 watt CCS
transistor amp with a built-in auto-tuner before I ditch my 3CX1200s
and 3-1000Z's.  So I'd be using a pulser TUNE for a long time
methinks.

73, Guy.
