[Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Terry Schieler]

I have read this thread with great interest.  But I must say that I have never done CW in SSB mode.  Can't specifically remember having heard it done.  What is the general use for this approach?  Getting through when SSB isn't cutting it?  That would seem obvious.  How is this odd approach viewed in the amateur and DX community?  Does it not matter to a SSB DX station or his pileup if I slam my call in there via CW.  I doubt it is against the rules.  But what about the impact to courtesy, ethical operating habits, etc?  I have had occasions where a CW transmission might have snagged me a new one during a SSB operation.  Does it make me a lid?  Looking to be enlighten.

Same here, it works fine for me with latest beta.  I never use VOX on ssb.
it's a very useful feature.
