Mmm, interesting.
Prompted by other comments, I tested CW-in-SSB band-by-band. Starting at
10m and working systematically down to 160m, the K3 would go into transmit
mode but produce no power out on any band. However, after moving 'down'
from 160m to 6m, it mysteriously started working again
One thing that disappointed me is that this very useful cross-mode feature (at
least
on 6m, where I do most of my operating), is available only if you are running
VOX mode.
I am not sure why it has been excluded when you run with a footswitch or
sequencer to
trigger the PTT line. I NEVER run

My K3 with Firmware 4.39 has the CW in SSB feature on all bands
including 6 meters in VOX or non-VOX mode. I use it a lot and have
never had a problem.

Lance,
It would be wise IMHO, for those using CW in SSB (or any other VHF/UHF
gear) and also having a sequencer, to use the TX INH input on the ACC
jack to inhibit transmit rather than asserting PTT at the end of the
sequence.
Yes, the K3 works a little differently than many other transceivers

Olli,
While your intention may have been for PTT use, and your documentation
may be directed at PTT, the output from the sequencer is effectively an
open circuit (sequence not complete) or a circuit closure (sequence
complete). That is simply a signal - it can be applied to the K3 TX INH

for your great replays to questions here on the list. A lot of stuff to
learn from you guys ... :-))

Olli,
Fine on all of that. I did not think of using a CW buffer - in
instances where a sequencer is appropriate, QSK operation is not usually
a goal, so if the operator has to send 2 or 3 dits that will not be
heard on the air, I would think that is a reasonable compromise. Of
course, each t

It depends on the amount of delay, of course, and I don'

My solution for CW is by using a manual PTT on the sequencer when
using CW mode sent by hand. This always on VHF or higher with
transverters, preamps, ext TR relays and Tx amplifiers
involved. When CW is generated by computer (keyboard) the sw I use
has built-in TR delay in the PTT command.
