Thanks Rich. I appreciate the detailed response. Makes sense to me now.

First off, when you use the CAT command the radio is not decoding
transmitted CW at all, it is simply echoing the ASCII text you sent to it
in the command.
Second, the only transmitted CW the K3/K3S can decode is keying from the
paddle input to the radio's internal CW keyer. Keying input from a straight
key, a computer or an external keyer, whether it comes into the radio on
the DTR line of the radio control port or via the CW Key jack, does not get
decoded.
