[Elecraft] K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

[Gary Hinson]

Hi Frank.

I have the same problem: CW in SSB no longer works on K3#2887 running
firmware 4.39.  I raised this on the reflector some months back and went
around the loop changing config settings, PTT, QRQ etc.  I did manage to fix
it temporarily by restoring the K3 firmware configs, but annoyingly it has
packed up again since then.

I *think* CW-in-SSB it might still work on some bands, not others.  At
least, that's what I found last time I checked - I haven't checked lately.

I suspect there might be a cryptic bug in the firmware (the best kind!).
