And this is why we love Elecraft - I can't see any other manufacture
responding positively with a solution, that's alone so quickly. Most
other manufactures would just say 'Caveat Emptor' - don't do it then!
Boy am I glad I bought my K3 :)

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against
cold.
For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no
power to hurt you.
So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great
wrongs,
and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.

Don,
By "a few seconds" I meant that it would have to detect the
condition in that window, on power-up. But if it did detect key-down
in this window, it would remain in the TX-inhibit condition for as
long as the key-down persisted.

Wayne,
Given the situation, reasons, and consequences, I believe something
like what you suggested would be the best solution. If you can
extend the time beyond 'the first couple of seconds' (enough time
to change the menu or power down), that would be helpful IMHO.

Dave,
I wanted to run a possible solution past you.
I could prevent the rig from being keyed (by any method) during
the first couple of seconds that it's powered up. Instead, it
could detect this case, and display a repeating message (something
like: "KEYLINE IS ACTIVE") until you either remove the source of
the keying or turn power off.
Thoughts on this?
