K3: CW stutter

Ralph Parker
I took #1823 through the SS CW and the 10m CW 'tests with reasonable results.
I did notice that turning the SUB rx on/off while transmitting (getting
ready for the next Q) caused the CW to 'stutter' (referred to as 'causes
interuption of transmitted CW signal' in previous firmware notes re RIT
on/off).
I learned to wait until the K3 switched back to RCV mode before changing
the SUB on/off mode, but it often wasn't convenient. Timing was critical to
catch the returning station before he sent his exchange.

Woulds't be possible to 'fix' this feature as well?
Now that I'm learning SO2V, it would be a big help.

Re: K3: CW stutter

Guy, K2AV
Turning the sub RX on and off is cycling a whole lot of things.  SO2x
operation in common practice uses something external to rig(s) to
switch/blend audio.  Wayne has something on the list about improving
SO2x operation, but you can bet it's not a cheap fix.  I think there
also was a reflector thread you can search for about a K3 "macro" that
one could use for selective muting/blending, which doesn't turn off
the SUB. There are some program commands that do something, and those
could be put in a macro assigned to a button on the front.

73, Guy.
