KX3 decoding CW with hand key

WA7SPY
I have had my KX3 for a month or so. Love the radio. I have recently decided to learn and start using a bug after using a paddle for many years. How do I decode my sending when key 1 is selected to Hand. When key 1 is set to dot tip it decodes my paddle just fine as I send. It does not decode when key1 is set to Hand as I send. Is the just the way it is or is there a setting I am missing?

Thanks,
Glenn WA7SPY

That's the way it is.  The KX3 can decode its own paddle-generated CW.

I think the decoding is done on output of electronic keyer.  HAND key does not use the keyer.
