My solution for CW is by using a manual PTT on the sequencer when using CW mode sent by hand. This always on VHF or higher with transverters, preamps, ext TR relays and Tx amplifiers involved. When CW is generated by computer (keyboard) the sw I use has built-in TR delay in the PTT command. PTT is controlled by RTS and keying is via DTR. I have the same options selected for my digital sw.
On HF I have none of these so sequencing is not engaged and CW keying is not an issue. I suppose some day there will be an HF amplifier for my K3 so not sure how one controls PTT with CW. I suppose the TX DLY setting handles normal situations for this. I guess one needs to check the transfer delay in amp or relays if relying on the delay function. If a long delay is needed QSK might not be usable. I don't use CW on HF enough for that to be a problem for me. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-QRT, 1296-?, 3400-?
