[Elecraft] KX3 CW Decode question

[rich hurd WC3T]

Thanks to all.   I also confirmed this experimentally.   However, even
turning decode off on the rig, I still get spurious dropped characters from
the utility.

It's not a showstopper to me because (a) I'm not looking to bring the
computer along on field expeditions, and (b) I'm hoping at some near point
in the future to use the CW decoder that is between my ears.   Hi hi.
