That's right. The K3 can be in Transmit Mode with or without RF being transmitted. Other than RF emitting from the antenna jack the rest of the radio is in transmit mode, and not in receive mode. Back to the original discussion ... When the K3 is in CW PTT-only mode, i.e., QSK/SEMI are disabled, then asserting PTT puts the K3 into transmit mode. RF can then be emitted in accordance with the PADDLE or KEY inputs. When PTT is released, the K3 goes back into receive mode regardless of the PADDLE or KEY inputs. 73, Ed - W0YK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
