I miss it too.  I have a foot switch etc, but when I am busy and want to
make a SSB comment, it is handy on the K2

I'm enjoying my first week with my new K3. 

But, I find some features that I'd like to have aren't there or I don't 
yet know how to do them if they are.

On my K2 I could use my paddle as a PTT when operating SSB using a 
headset.  That was handy.  The paddle was right there.

On my Orion, that same feature is a option on a menu and I was always 
sure to enable it.

I wish the K3 could do that , too.

I know I can use VOX or the XMIT key on the keyboard.  Not so handy.  I 
could rig up another key or footswitch too the PTT on the back of the 
K3, but I'd rather just do it the way the K2 does.

I may be alone in this, but feel better that I got to voice my 
suggestion.  And, like I say, I may be able to do this already, but lack 
the K3 knowledge to get the job done.
