All,

That may be true for CW sent by FLDIGI or another data mode application 
- it simply feeds a (hopefully) single tone to the SSB generator.

The K3 CW in SSB mode is different because it is real keyed CW from the 
paddles of keying input.  Yes, the carrier is shifted by the sidetone 
pitch so a station listening in SSB mode will hear the tone.
