KX3 and Re: K2 Keying on SSB

[Elecraft mailing list]

May I again make my plea to upgrade the KX3 firmware to provide the normal  
CW vox delay when using CW in SSB? Still not there in Ver 1.87.
 
This delay is very necessary when using external transverters for VHF/UHF,  
where the ACC2 control sends the T/R closure to the transverter.
 
I understand that the K3, and perhaps the K2, handles it properly.

I don't know about the  K2.  It is an option on the K3 and many operators
switch to CW to finish  SSB contacts or make CW contacts in the phone band
when conditions are  marginal.  I have elected to have the option on my K3 and
wish I could  have it on my TS-480.  If you have it on your K2, enjoy, it
is handy and  great.  More used on 6 meters, but is great on other HF (and
very legal  everywhere!)

it keys the  transmitter. Is this normal for the K2? I've never had a
transmitter do  that.

This should be a simple fix -- it's near the top of the firmware list.
