[Elecraft] CW/CW-REV config option

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

Interesting -- I never really gave it much thought, except I preferred 
LSB CW for the reason I stated - it keeps *my* head straight.  It may be 
a thing more common to the QRP community.  Anyway, Wayne designed the K2 
and K3 normal CW to be LSB, and the K1 is always LSB.
In the K2, just hold the REV button and it switches sidebands, and on 
the K3 the sideband is remembered per band, so that can keep all of us 
happy.  If you want it the other way 'round, just hold the REV button, 
and you have your preference.

73,
Don W3FPR

> For DXers, the standard for CW has always been USB. IE a higher pitch tone means a station higher in frequency. Very useful when looking for the "spot" when the DX is split and listening up. Also standard. CW USB on the K3 is indeed CW REV. LSB CW, for DXing,  is considered backwards. To each his own.
