Brian, Could you please explain what you think is deficient in the K3? You close the key, the KEY OUT line activates, the K3 waits 8 ms (minimum, adjustable up to 20 ms) and then the cw character begins. The 8-20 ms is to give the amplifier time to close its relays so it isn't damaged. On key up the rf ends before the KEY OUT line drops so the amplifier can't switch while it is outputting, unlike ICOM rigs. What is it the K3 should do differently?
