[Elecraft] K3 feature request 'CW in SSB' change

[w7xu at iw.net]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the request, but it doesn't seem like
a good idea to me.

Imagine I'm on 6m during a contest with CW in SSB enabled.
I'm keying the radio with the computer, so I have the VOX-QSK
button set to PTT.  I'm on phone, but I want to answer someone
on CW.  So now I won't be able to send CW without engaging
the VOX?  Or, if I was using the radio with a transverter, I'd
have to run VOX and likely blow up my preamp?

Sorry, but I'd vote no on that.
