K3: CW in SSB mode

[Ken G Kopp]

Hi Terry,

I suspect you'll get a number of reasons for using the feature ...

It -very- common on VHF ... 6M in this case ... when both parties in
a QSO want to log both a CW and SSB contact.

It's convenient when one wants to "key the rig" to set drive level, check
SWR, adjust an antenna tuner, etc.

I also never use VOX (on SSB) and use a foot-switch for everything. (:-)

If you want to test drive level why wouldn't you just use the Tune function?

I find it to be a very handy feature of the K3.  No switching modes no using a key, etc.
