[Elecraft] K3S bug in FW Beta 5.46 Keyer Memories

[Nr4c]

Did you actually input "..--" or did you use the "|" vertical bar or "pipe" symbol?  The "|" is mentioned in the K3 utility under CONFIG/Edit CW memories I think. It works for RTTY, PSK and is not processed on CW so it had no effect on CW. One set of messages works for all. 
Also I noted you used the underscore instead of a dash. This might also be an issue.

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.

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.
