K3: SSB + CW (Auto CW) and VOX/PTT

Hello,

just tested that in my case if I have AutoCW active (CONFIG:CW WGHT
and tap '1' until you see SSB +CW) there is all the time CW QSK active!
If I am in SSB mode and PTT active (NO VOX) when key is touched TX is
going to be activated.
In CW mode the same - no VOX, no QSK but all the time like QSK active,
no VOX label on display.
There is need to follow up the settings - if PTT is required there
could not be any QSK in any mode.
When Auto CW is off, it seems to be ok - following PTT settings.
Having latest FW and straight key connected to key on rear panel.

Can you please anybody else test this if it is some bug or is time to
reload FW here?

Thanks,
Lexa, -dst-

Re: K3: SSB + CW (Auto CW) and VOX/PTT

Just to clarify what I suppose to be better:

If SSB + CW (Auto CW) active, let it is valid only for SSB mode and on
CW mode settings of PTT (PTT or VOX-QSK semi or full) will be considered.
Then when I am only on CW I do not need to go to SSB -CW to disable
QSK when need PTT only behaviour.
There is no problem with dealys there is problem that in system which
rely on PTT only you can cause some problems in CW mode by touching
the Key as no information about QSK active (caused by SSb +CW
settings) is dispalyed (my feeling).

73!

Re: K3: SSB + CW (Auto CW) and VOX/PTT

update - sorry for confusion(-s), after some testing I recognized that
no RF is on output, only PTT OUT is active and chain of relays are
clicking....
So I am probably wrong concerning relations between AutoCW and PTT CW
mode behaving like QSK mode as no RF is emitted.
It is not "real" QSK because only SIDETONE, RED TX Led and PTT OUT is
activated.
But still not clear to me why PTT OUT is activated when I am in CW
mode, PTT enabled and touching the Key?
What will be "correct" - listen Sidetone after touching key but no PTT
OUT active, no TX LED.
That is my conclusion for now, can be changed easily :-))
