[Elecraft] FW: K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

Wed Feb 1 14:21:38 EST 2012

One thing that disappointed me is that this very useful cross-mode feature (at least 
on 6m, where I do most of my operating), is available only if you are running VOX mode.

I am not sure why it has been excluded when you run with a footswitch or sequencer to 
trigger the PTT line.  I NEVER run VOX mode here, so I have been forced to use macros 
to invoke SPLIT mode operation on different modes and different frequencies to try to 
simulate the operation of the built-in cross mode feature.

Unless there is some special reason why can only ever work in VOX mode, those of us 
using amplifiers and PTT mode would sure like to see this feature included in future 
firmware updates!

Thanks for the bandwidth!  VY 73, Lance
