[Elecraft] small feature request for the K3

[Wolfgang Schwarz -DK9VZ-]

Hi Elecraft

I?m using my K3 99% for CW-Contesting and am optimizing my switch over
timing between, Trasnceiver, PA and so on.

When running with the contestsoftware (WinTest) there is an exact PTT-Signal
switching TRX and PA before sending CW (PTT on Delay) and after the last
CW-character the PTT-line drops as fast as possible to not lose the 
prefix of
a calling station (so no PTT tail delay).

But sometimes you need to send CW with a manual keyer (internal or 
external)
and there is no PTT on delay now and no PTT tail delay. Today we are 
solving the
problem by using a footswitch for this "manual" operation times.

Wouldn?t it be possible for the K3 firmware to have different delay time 
entries
(for PTT ON and PTT OFF) between using the serial port keying and using the
Key Ports on the back side
(Paddle with the internal Keyer or even with an external keyer)?
