[Elecraft] K3 CW Output on Tune, not on Transmit

[Don Wilhelm]

Do you have the K3 set for VOX?  See the note in the manual on page 30.
VOX must be turned on in CW mode to operate either QSK or semi-breakin.
If you have selected PTT, you must first activate the PTT (footswitch or 
other) or tap the XMIT button.
