Because you cannot control transmit with PTT/footswitch. Hitting the paddle puts the rig into transmit. You cannot gate (prohibit) transmit with PTT/footswitch if QSK is still active. Some SO2R control boxes use PTT to enable each transmitter. You may want to insure your amplifier is switched on before RF is applied from the K3. There are lots of other reasons for having this traditional feature. Every radio on the planet has PTT/footswitch control for CW ... except the K2, and now the K3, unless it is added in the firmware. 73, Ed - W0YK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
