[Elecraft] CW/CW-REV config option

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

If that "one" radio is something other than an Elecraft brand, change 
that "one" to "at least 5".  The K2 and the K3 will switch sidebands at 
the touch of a button too (actually a hold).  My Yaesu 847 has quick CW 
sideband switching as does the FT-817, and my Yaesu FT-900 also allows 
the user to select the CW sideband, but it is not as quick and easy as 
on the K2 or K3 or the other Yaesus.  I have all mine set to LSB CW!

The Yaesu default is to USB CW, while the K2 and K3 default is to LSB CW 
- it is very easily changed - just hold the REV button.
Interaction with logging software may be a different consideration, read 
the documentation for your preferred application for the details.  Some 
will follow the transceiver settings, while others may try to "do it 
their way".  If you have problems with that aspect, contact the software 
author.
