[Elecraft] K3 Feature Request - Stopping CW Memory Playback with PTT

[Bruce McLaughlin]

On my K-3 touching the dit paddle will interrupt transmission of a CW
message from memory.  It reminds me quite a bit of the coastal stations when
they used to send CW.  Stations such as WCC would be sending their ID tapes
and all of a sudden you heard a single dit and the tape would stop.  The
operator would send that dit when he heard a ship calling.  My K-3 works in
much the same fashion.  If I am using QSK while sending a CW message from
memory if IE or anything all I need to do is touch the dit paddle and my
transmission stops.

Makes total sense to me. Any call for another transmission source, VOX, PTT,

external key line input, or paddles, should halt automatic transmissions.
