[Elecraft] Turning off Amp PTT when using Tune Button

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Yeah, called turning amp to standby.  In my case anyway, standby switch is
right in front of my face.  I've gotten into habit of turning amp to standby
when I change bands and only putting it back on when I've seen normal SWR on
K3 in tune, and I've changed amp tuning knobs to numbers for the new band.
WAY easier on expensive amp tubes.

Personally I wouldn't want the function you imply in the K3, certainly not
as a default behavior. I'd bet that generates a whole new string of <Why
can't I key my amp with my K3?> threads.
