K3 Problem with RTTY using cw paddle to send RTTY

[José Nunes - CT1BOH]

After 27 year of no RTTY, I finally decided to have a go using the CW paddle
of the K3.

I have two problems

#1. Split does not work when sending RTTY with paddle - It is a BUG

#2.
When I end the pushing of one of the sides of the paddle, the PTT stays on
for almost 3 seconds sending dadadadada (sort of in rtty).
Is this the way it should work?
I would imagine that when I leave the paddle for the last H of (CT1BOH) TX
would end...
3 seconds seems a lot to me.

Please adivice - don't want to leave the contest guys waiting with my TX

Make sure that VFO B is also in DATA mode. You can do this by tapping
A->B twice before going into SPLIT mode.
