K3: glitch canceling CW using 'KY @'

[Mike Markowski-2]

I wrote a tiny C program that uses KY to send a string, but I also use
'KY @;' to cancel anything in progress.  On occasion, sending is
properly canceled but I get a sidetone.  The transmit led is not on when
this happens, so I assume I'm not transmitting.  I only have to send a
dit to stop the tone.

I'm using firmware 4.12.

Just an FYI.  73,

I can reproduce this using KComm, which uses the KY method to send CW from the keyboard. My current firmware level is 4.03. Actually I first noticed this months ago, but I haven't used it in a while and hoped it had been fixed.

Just send "RX;". This will cancel the transmission and works in all modes.

Thanks, Tom, I've been using "RX;" since your posting & it seems to
always properly stop the transmission.  No unexpected sidetone.

Tnx agn!  73,
