K3 PTT CW

Paul W5DM
Thanks to all who replied.

In the reply, and the link enclosed, by Lexa, ok1dst,  are given reasons why some desire a "pure" PTT mode for CW.  There are also some excellent contest and dx operators who, for their own personal reasons, do not use QSK.  I know that ON4UN told me several years ago at Ham-Com in Texas that he did not use QSK.

I am in no way trying to tell Elecraft what their priorities for changes should be; but I hope that, if not too much trouble and too dificult to implement, that a "pure" PTT CW will be made an available option in the K3 for those of us who want it. For now, and not for the first time in my life, it is work around time.

Hi Paul

Can you define "pure" PTT CW?

  I assume you mean CW is inactivated until you activate PTT, and the
rig stays in TX mode until you release PTT, yet sends a signal only
when the paddles are pressed. Is that it? Lets you use a something
like a foot switch for total control?
