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

[Don Wilhelm]

Lance and all,

I was mistaken (I was prompted to try it with CW+SSB).
CW in SSB seems to only work using the "hit the key" method.  Once PTT 
is active, it will not work at all, only the SSB inputs work.

I cannot duplicate your setup since I do not have your sequencer 
controls here.  Are you using TX INH as well as the PTT input to the K3 
from your sequencer?
