K3 and QSK

[Bill N2BC]

This was an issue with the early Orion also. As I understand it, PTT in CW was eventually implemented on the Orion.

Some of the contesting software will raise PTT and delay a user specified time before keying to let the T/R switching settle.  Also, on all the YaeCOMWood rigs I have used, releasing PTT returns to RX 'instantly' - cancelling any delay set for semi-breakin.

Not having a QSK amplifier, and not particularly caring for QSK at all, PTT in CW capability is important to me.  I routinely stomp on the foot switch to eliminate the clatter during CW contacts with my ICOM rig - been doing this ever since my DX-35 & way to old to change now.

PLEASE make PTT active on CW in the K3!      PLEASE....

73, Bill  N2BC

It is! The way it works now will allow you to do what you describe.
