[Elecraft] DVR used with contesting software (N1MM)

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Ron, as far as I can tell this happens with manual PTT asserted any time 
during the repeat CQ pause or during transmission.  ESC is the only way 
to interrupt the cycle or an actual canned transmission.  This may not 
be fixable, depending on the specifics of the K3 CAT messaging (i.e. 
does it send a message when PTT is engaged by a footswitch?)
