[Elecraft] Clipping first element of CW - K3/KPA-1500

[Don Wilhelm]

Scott,

What do you mean by "if I get tired of all the racket"?
The Elecraft gear is all electronic switching for T/R, so no relay 
clacking racket.  That is true for ALL Elecraft gear, even the oldest K2.

That may not be true for your old tube amplifiers, but the original 
question was about a K3 and a KPA1500, so no relay clacking could be 
present.
