Transmitting CW While in SSB

[N5GE]

I've been doing the above with my first K3 #806 for a long time,
especially on 6m.  Today I was monitoring 2m USB on the other rig,
#1055, and heard a station calling CQ.  I quickly attached a paddle to
the rig and started answering the station, but no CW was transmitted
from the rig (still in USB).

I have searched the latest K3 manual using CW for the search criteria
and haven't found a way to turn the XMIT CW in SSB setting on.

What am I overlooking?

The firmware in the #1055 is 3.14.  The same as in #806.

Thanks,

Tom, N5GE

Go to CW WGHT in the Config menu. Press the "A/B(1)" key to toggle between SSB
+CW and SSB -CW.

Tom - it's a bit hard to find as it's sort of "hidden" within the CONFIG: CW
WGHT menu and is detailed as follows:

MCU 1.87 / DSP 1.69, 5-3-08

  NEW FEATURES:

  * CW KEYING IN SSB MODES:  While in SSB modes, you can now send CW without
    changing modes or using an offset. The other station will hear the
signal at your CW pitch.
    This is especially useful on VHF bands when SSB signals can't be copied.
    To enable this feature, go into CONFIG:CW WGHT and tap '1' until you see
SSB +CW.

Just to check out this feature I turned on the SSB+CW.
With the radio vox off, qsk off etc when you hit the paddle
the radio goes into transmit.   Is that normal?
Seems that the controls should work no matter the modes..
What am I missing?
