Hi Don, et al:
Since no one has explained the difference between 'Transmit mode'

PTT is a jack on the K3 rear panel that performs as you describe MOX below
when it is shorted to ground. Typically a footswitch is connected to the
PTT jack. QSK and SEMI break-in are disabled in this mode.
Thanks for good explanatiion of PTT in K3.
I would also hope that the K3 carrys
forward the 8R feature built into the K2.
This keys some amps perfectly well.

I don't know, but that certainly hasn't been the focus of our discussion of
this feature. It is simply providing PTT-only control of transmission for
the CW mode, just
So do I, but when using such a low power level for tuning, the minimum
is much easier to observe using the digital meter than the analog one.

SWR is displayed on the TS-480 when using the "PF" button to generate a
carrier.
The function works perfectly on the Kenwood rig, no need to re-invent
things - just a little copying/cheating would be fine by me.

Yes, watching the SWR would be good (I'd assumed that would be there).
I use an ext. SWR meter, but watching the SWR as the SGC tunes via the K3
display would be much nicer.

I too would like to be able to send low power RF to my SGC to tune it.
I'm NOT asking for a f/w change right now, my suggestion below requires it

Think of non-QSK (semi break-in) with the key up between dits in the
letter H. You are in transmit mode -- the receiver isn't on -- but no RF
is being generated.

I just loaded Wayne's latest K3 firmware, and (in addition to other neat

1) When PTT is open, hitting the key gives you sidetone but no RF.
2) When PTT is closed, you go into TX mode for as long as it's closed.
