[Elecraft] K3 +sign in display

Hadn't paid much attention to the really little things in the display, but a while ago while operating CW that there was a + sign under and a little to the right of the B vfo indicator.  Wondering what this was, I started digging in the book and didn't find anything except that it would indicate repeater offset in FM mode with the 2 meter transverter installed or that ESSB was on when in SSB mode.  Nothing I could find mentioned CW.  

Since I had only recently started testing the new features Wayne had added in test version 4.30 (it still reports 4.29) of the firmware (not available yet on the website) I had QRQ turned on.  Not being very observant I missed it, but the + in CW mode indicates that QRQ mode is ON in the configuration menu.  

It may be in the manual, but I couldn't find it so thought I'd post my observations here in case anyone else had wondered what it was for when in CW mode.
