[Elecraft] K3 -S

[William Evans]

I am invoking the wisdom of all great Elecraft gurus for a quandary I  
have:
On the right front display of the K3, there is a small symbol ("-S")  
which is there to designate when the rig is in synchronous AM.  I know  
that we do not yet have that mode available, and thus, when I am in AM  
mode and press ALT, nothing happens.  But when I go to SSB (either LSB  
or USB), the "-S" is lighted (or is that darkened?).  It only shows up  
in sideband mode and I do not know what it means.  Do I have some  
obscure configuration engaged? I have re-installed the firmware (3.44)  
but the symbol persist.  I can not find anything about it in the users  
manual.  Can any of you, of great Elecraft wisdom, provide me with an  
answer?

Also, I can no longer press and hold the shift button to return to NOR  
when in SSB mode.  It works in data, CW and AM modes, but in SSB I  
receive N/A instead.  Is this a change with some of the recent  
software? Or is there a new configuration which I have overlooked?
