[Elecraft] K3 CW bug-ettes

Hi!

I've noticed some weeny bugs - or rather things that don't seem quite right
to me - in K3 firmware v4.03, DVR v1.03:

1.  The new QRQ QSK mode works nicely aside from the known limitation of no
RIT.  However, this limitation still seems to apply when I change from full
break in to semi break in using the band/QSK button.  I have to go into the
menu and de-select the QRQ option as well to get RIT back.  

2.  When in SSB mode, I can send CW just by hitting the paddle but if I
assert the PTT first (e.g. using my footswitch), the rig goes into TX but
won't key.

3.  In SSB mode, if I accidentally hit the DVR voice-box message replay
button twice, or if it bounces, the second replay interrupts the first but
there is an extended silent delay at the end after playing the message,
before the rig drops back to receive.  [In CW mode, the second press chains
another message as expected, but there is no extended hang at the end.]

These are so minor, they hardly qualify as bugs.  Just quirks really.
Features if you will.
