And others have also identified:
7- Mechanical bug
8- CMOS Superkeyer (Logikeyer)
That list would be a reasonable 'industry-wide benchmark' for the
keying/timing modes that a premium CW transceiver like the K3 should
offer as built-in options.
Each one of those keying modes has a significant real-world following.
Translation: there are significant numbers of K3 users who NEED that
specific timing mode in order to operate close to their personal top
speed.
What K3 users *don't* need is to be told to use an external keyer, an
adapter or some other workaround. We already know the workarounds
because - even after 7 years - the K3 still needs them.
