[Elecraft] [K3} CW in SSB - no manual PTT?

[Ian White]

Microphone muting is not a problem. When SSB VOX and CW VOX are both
enabled, we can hear the CW-in-SSB logic working correctly: whichever
mode of transmission is triggered first, that mode "wins" and input for
the other mode remains muted until the VOX drops out. 

The problem specifically involves the use of manual PTT (microphone
button, XMIT button or foot switch) which completely blocks the CW
input.
