K3: CW in SSB mode broken?

Edward R Cole
Lance and Don,

That is exactly how I have my K3 configured with an external
sequencer.  In voice the PTT keys the K3 and I take KEYOUT to key the
sequencer.  The final stage of the sequencer defeats the INHIBIT line
to the K3 enabling transmit.  I do not run QSK on VHF so I manually
switch the sequencer for hand sent CW.

Of course if under sw control of WSJT (JT65) PTT is controlled via
RTS or DTR lines in the serial interface and the radio is in DATA-A
which uses USB.  JT65 has a CW mode, although I have not used
it.  Instead I have a separate CW program that keys PTT and CW via
the RS232 line.  I only use keyboard CW when running eme.

I use BAND0 line to enable my inhibit so it is not in use on
HF/6m.  I will add 6m sequencing/inhibit via DIGOUT1.  I just
installed a 222 transverter so I will also need to use BAND1 for
TRN2.  Simple diode steering will enable all these to enable the
inhibit function:
