[Elecraft] CW activation while in USB mode...

[Lance Collister]

I am not sure if this is a bug or I am just doing something wrong, but I selected 
the "+" option yesterday to be able to send CW while in the USB mode, and plugged 
my external keyer into the KEY jack on the back of the K3.   I tried it, but never 
could seem to get the rig to send CW while I was in USB mode.

However, today when I started up trying to run a 6m EME sked, I found that when 
the PTT line was closed by my sequencer, the K3 started transmitting immediately 
and I heard a sidetone in the speaker.  All while the tones from the computer also 
were coming through to the mic input.  It was as if the rig was trying to send a 
CW carrier at the same time as SSB or something!  I finally figured out that it 
was nothing in the latest firmware download, but that I could get things back to 
normal by changing the CW option back to "-".

Anybody have any idea what is going on?  TNX and VY 73, Lance
