[Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Cady, Fred]

Here is another scenario:
"You are operating at the scene of a disaster using a low antenna and low power while passing health-and-welfare traffic. You can hear the SSB station on the other end but it can't hear you very well. You would like to be able to listen on SSB and send on CW. What configuration menu item to you use to activate this cross-mode transmission?"
