Paul, Thanks for the additional comment.
Agreed this not as important as the much awaiting dual band receive which is just around the corner. That will do more good than the amp issue. And besides, once band conditions improve I won't be using the amp much anyway, didn't have one until a month ago, have to use it all the time on low band SSB to talk within 150 miles most early evenings. 73, Bill K9YEQ K2 #35; KX1 #35; K3 #1744; mini mods -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Paul Christensen Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 12:08 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request > "...Every AMP has a STBY switch. I just checked..." Well...not every amp. My Alpha 70V has no standby switch. From the off position, the amp either goes right into active CW or SSB operating mode -- with no warm-up time (the PA tube uses a directly-heated filament). If I want to bypass the amp, I must press the OFF button. And when its off, the entire amp is really off. Sure, this is not indicative of most amps made, but this example may not be the only exception out there. Still, the PTT menu issue is not important enough for me to care one way or the other.
