[Elecraft] [KX3] Sideswiper mode for internal keyer (also K3)

[Thomas Horsten]

Hi Peter,

Yes what you're suggesting would probably do the trick, but the reason for
my request is exactly to avoid having to fiddle with adapters and
unplugging the paddle (and inserting an extra spacer between the rig and
the paddle) when switching modes, instead just doing it from the menu. It's
a very simple thing to do in software, and much more complicated to do in
hardware (and even if I made such an adapter I'd still have to switch the
rig to hand key mode) - so a menu option to treat either tip or rig as a
hand key would be the optimal solution!

73, Thomas
