[Elecraft] Send a simple tone

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

Sometimes I just have a brain mailfunction.

All the answers made me realize that I needed to plug a switch in the 
back of the unit not in the front via my mic cable.

Once this was sorted out and the radio in CW and VOX on I could do what 
I wanted to do.

I was aware of the tune function but I was slow at it and for the test I 
wanted to do, I wanted the ability to do short bursts and adjust the 
power while in key down.

But I do learn.  I even worked I32C in split mode the other day, and I 
am sure you guys remember my brain block questions back then.

Thanks again for being a fun and understanding group.  I as I slowly 
become a smarter and better operator.
