Hi Bill,
Firmware release 1.87 introduced this new feature:
* CW KEYING IN SSB MODES: While in SSB modes, you can now send CW without
changing modes or using an offset. The other station will hear the
signal at your CW pitch.
This is especially useful on VHF bands when SSB signals can’t be copied.
To enable this feature, go into CONFIG:CW WGHT and tap ‘1’ until you see
SSB +CW.
Just hit the key. No need to switch modes. It is very convenient. If
your contact comes back on CW, make sure auto notch is off and you may
want to change the filter width if copying gets tough.
Hope this helps.

This is something I thought already behaved the way I want it to, but it

somebody please tell me.
If I'm copying a 6m CW signal in USB mode and switch the K3 to CW(REV) mode
(which corresponds to USB), I want to see the VFO change frequency in the right
direction (up, in this instance, or down when switching from CW(REV) to USB))
by the amount of the PITCH frequency. It doesn't. This means when switching
from CW to SSB or back, I lose sync with the CW signal I was copying. We want
to be able to stay in pitch-sync with a CW signal while switching back and
forth between SSB and CW modes.
If there is a setting that already sets the K3 up with this behavior, I'd like to know what it is.
Otherwise, could we please have an implementation of this at the earliest opportunity? The
CW-in-SSB mode behavior works great, and I love it! But we also need this VFO-offset behavior when
switching between these modes as well. It should be an option you can set in Config -- "Auto
offset VFO CW/SSB" or something like that. In the Kenwood TS-2000, it's called "Frequency
correction for SSB-to-CW change (ON/OFF)". We VHF ops would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Bill W5WVO
