Actually, the question is one of the exercises in the "K3 book". And the answer is tapping the 1 key on the CW WGT config menu. :-) Fred

I don't remember the menu option Fred, but it is just an option that you turn on or off then all you need to do is key the transmitter when you are in SSB. The only problem that I have is occasionally bumping the paddles and wondering what is making all the noise. Maybe someone will remember how to turn it on or off. I turned mine on a few years ago and have never turned it off!

Here is another scenario: "You are operating at the scene of a disaster using a low antenna and low power while passing health-and-welfare traffic. You can hear the SSB station on the other end but it can't hear you very well. You would like to be able to listen on SSB and send on CW. What configuration menu item to you use to activate this cross-mode transmission?"
