[Elecraft] KX3 (SN01674) and CW in SSB - Feature request

[Martin Theodor Grewe]

Hi Don,

thanks for your answer ​and Explanation. CW WGHT is known but not helpful
in this case.

I'll try to explan: CW WGHT is set to 800Hz. I'am operating in USB, using
CW-In-SSB. I can answer the station.
But station cannot read my signal, I try to answer with an stored CW Memory
because I am lazy. Now I have to
change mode from SSB to CW to get CW Memory ... and so on with the next
SSB-session answering a cw Station again.

This is, for my understanding, a bit too much: Change mode, activate cw
keyer etc.

Its easier to have "Extended CW memories" only for CW-IN-SSB in SSB-mode.


Kind regards,
73 de Martin, DL1MTG
