[Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.80: misc. improvements (AM mode, DVR, etc.)

[Don Wilhelm]

Brett,

Unlike the K2, the K3 keying and the PTT are separate.  It is PTT (only) 
that currently stops DVR playback, and VOX de-activation is a coming 
attraction.  I am certain Wayne and Lyle will consider your request that 
a key tap will terminate DVR palyback, but I cannot speak for their 
response.
