[Elecraft] K CW-to-data wierdness

[lstavenhagen]

Ok, tnx Don. I wasn't sure if I should try to report this "formally" unless I
had a reproduceable scenario (that's the QA guy in me), but I've just
confirmed that this will do it every time (at least on my rig). It's also
independent of which mode you use - happens in both FSK-D and PSK-D - or
keying speed. Also it happens in Test mode (i.e. don' t need to be actually
transmitting to replicate it).

The strange behavior seems to have some definite symptoms as well - the rig
exits transmit and quits sending the encoded signal and the keyer is a
mystified state (locked in a continuous tone, or producing keying with no
sidetone). 
Hitting the paddle always restores normal behavior.

Whew, what a relief. I thought I was getting too hot during the QSO and had
done some kind of damage, hi hi. Even with the power level set at 5 watts,
the underneath of the rig gets pretty hot during PSK (as I'd imagine the
peak power output is still considerably more than that) hi hi.
If it's a SW bug that means it's probably easily fixable....

Tns es 73,
