Hi Jerry, The CW signal from TUNE (or ATU TUNE) is *truly* continuous, not pulsed on and off to spell things in Morse. It's like holding down a straight key, except it's a toggle so you still have both hands free. As Lee noted, you can ID before or after tuning, or just roll it into your next transmission on the same frequency.
In CW mode, the KX3 can be keyed by a key, paddles, keyer memory, or serial port. If VOX is on, the rig always transmits when keyed. If VOX is off, XMIT manually toggles whether the rig transmits when keyed. The latter is useful if you're operating on a crowded desk and bumping the key or paddle between transmissions is a possibility. 73, Julie On Tue, Aug 23, 2022 at 4:08 PM JEROME SODUS <jso...@comcast.net> wrote: > Hello, > > Yesterday, I was re-reading the KX3-manual to prepare for putting into use > a magnetic-loop-antenna. > > The KX3 manual, on page 14, has this wording "TUNE is used to put out a CW > signal at the power level selected by the PWR control.". > This is new territory for me as I have never have used "TUNE" or "XMIT" > button. > > Neither the manual nor the great book "The Elecraft KX3-Portable" by Fred > KE7X (SK) have answers to my questions, which are: > 1.
