[Elecraft] KX3 CW Key Options

[Ken G Kopp]

Hi Jim !

It's generally accepted convention today that virtually
all key plugs/jacks are "three-circuit" ... tip, ring and
sleeve ... in both "1/8" and "1/4" diameters.

IMHO, modifying software to satisfy the wants of a few
of us isn't warranted.  In your case, "doing it right" is just
a simple plug change and the key would still work in "older"
radios.

73!
