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

[Edward R. Cole]

My solution for CW is by using a manual PTT on the sequencer when 
using CW mode sent by hand.  This always on VHF or higher with 
transverters, preamps, ext TR relays and Tx amplifiers 
involved.  When CW is generated by computer (keyboard) the sw I use 
has built-in TR delay in the PTT command.  PTT is controlled by RTS 
and keying is via DTR.  I have the same options selected for my digital sw.

On HF I have none of these so sequencing is not engaged and CW keying 
is not an issue.  I suppose some day there will be an HF amplifier 
for my K3 so not sure how one controls PTT with CW.  I suppose the TX 
DLY setting handles normal situations for this.  I guess one needs to 
check the transfer delay in amp or relays if relying on the delay 
function.  If a long delay is needed QSK might not be usable. I don't 
use CW on HF enough for that to be a problem for me.
