[Elecraft] K3S bug in FW Beta 5.46 Keyer Memories

[Jim Sheldon]

Just found a bug in the keyer memories when programming for PSK/RTTY.  
The memory loads fine until you send the ..__ (IM) character to 
terminate transmission and then it locks up as if you had a constant 
"key down" with a hand key.  I was programming memory 4 to call CQ on 
RTTY when I discovered this.  I tried the other memories and got the 
same results.  It never did this on the K3 I used to have so I don't 
know if it's unique to the K3S or whether it does this on the K3 as 
well.

Whoever is handling the FW for the K3/K3S might want to take a look at 
this as it could get annoying.  The anomaly only shows up when 
programming the memories, not when sending direct with the paddles and 
the IM character does terminate transmission as it should.  It just 
causes the keyer to hang when the IM character is sent during memory 
programming.

Anyone Else notice this?  (Can't be RFI as there is no RF output during 
CW memory programming).  Can't call Support as they don't give any help 
on Beta FW.
