It would be interesting to learn under what practical circumstances
someone might offer that the current arrangement is a desired mode. I
can't think of any, however, that could just be lack of imagination on
my part.
Until convinced otherwise my vote is with N6ML. CW mode, VOX off, no
PTT = no Key Out.

It does seem a bit lame that KEY OUT is activated when the K3 is not
transmitting. Maybe there should be an (optional) mode where the CW
key inputs (including memory) are completely ignored when VOX is off
and PTT is not asserted......

Mike,
I think you mean Keyout rather than PTT -- PTT is an input signal to the K3
generated by an external device such as a footswitch..
The use of TX INH does not prevent the Keyout signal from activating - it
should click the relays and start your sequencer. BUT it does prevent RF
from being transmitted which will protect your preamps and other things that
need to be protected during the sequencer time.
A typical sequencer will complete its cycle in a few tens of milliseconds.
If you don't like the Keyout state changing with keying, use semi-break-in
and set the delay to whatever time period you desire to keep the Keyout
active between characters, words, etc. - that time will depend on your
keying speed..

Hi Don,
That doesn't work too well because the PTT signal still bounces up and
down
setting off all the relays. My IC735 used to have a VOX delay which you
could set to something long to prevent that - but unless I missed a menu I
can't seem to find where you set the CW VOX hang time.
