[Elecraft] K3 transmit/amplifier relay

[Sy Botan]

Most of my operating is on CW.  While staying in the CW receive mode I
operate the paddle to adjust speed and monitor level.  The transmit relay
activates and the amplifier relay also is activated.  Being in the CW
receive mode there is no RF output but the relay clanking is annoying.
Neither VOX or QSK is selected.  I tried to find some menu item that might
have an affect on the relay activation.  Did I overlook something or is this
normal?
