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

[Don Wilhelm]

Julian,

VOX does not have to be on except for "hit the key" CW (QSK or 
semi-break-in).
PTT (that is the state with VOX off) for CW does work - one taps the 
XMIT button or depresses the footswitch, or activates PTT by some other 
means before keying.

Recall the problems some had with the K2 where there was no inhibit for 
keying - many VHF operators had to go to extremes (like installling my 
PTT for CW circuit) to prevent the K2 keying until the sequencer had 
finished.

73,
