K3 - IARU CW and an item for the wish list

[k6dgw]

K3 is amazing in the IARU CW.  I'm copying stations I know I wouldn't
have even heard on the TS-850 thanks to the K3 NB/NR.

A wish:  I use CWT a lot, like sort of all the time.  It would be real
nice if, when I left 20 with CWT on to check out 15, and then come back
to 20, it was still on.

And note to self:  Self, when you turn on the manual notch, remember to
turn it off :-)

73,

Hi Ron,

Quite so.  But the idea is that when coming back to CW from SSB if CWT was
active it automatically returns to CWT.

Hmmm... That's how mine behaves with 2.10. CWT remains in effect unless I
change modes. It's independent of band changes.

Personally, I'd like to see mode independent of band changes too, but
that's
a small irritation for me and, from what I read in the messages, a major
requirement for many competitive operators who want to hop between bands,
modes and other pre-established setup parameters at the push of a single
button.

I was a little cryptic and didn't actually state what really happens.
Mine is independent of band, provided the band change does not include a
mode change too.  But if I go from 20 CW [CWT on] to 15 SSB and then
back to 20 CW, CWT is now off.  It's only one button tap, so it's not a
huge deal.  Personally, I'd be happy if CWT was the default anytime you
are in CW.  Who needs an S-meter scale over S9 anyway?  After the IARU,
I find a LOT of folks need help getting reasonably close to my frequency
though :-)

I guess we're beating a dead horse, Ron.  That's not the way the world
works any more.  For example, my car automatically locks and unlocks the
doors, turns on/off the lights, adjusts the heat and AC, etc. based on
some computer algorithm - instead of letting me choose.  I wish they
offered an option where you could pay extra money NOT to get those extra
"features".
