Re: [Elecraft] K3 - CWT ON/OFF change request
Great Wayne, thanks, just getting into CW now (you ask why so late - slow learner with CW - god I find it hard :-( But I've found myself hitting CWT all the time. 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. - Robert McCloskey, State Department spokesman (attributed) On 21 Jan 2009, at 04:26, wayne burdick wrote: This is already on the list -- now moved up a notch. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jan 20, 2009, at 5:29 PM, W6NEK wrote: I would like to request that the operation of the CWT function be changed.

[Elecraft] K3 - CWT ON/OFF change request
Yes, Yes ... me too! I too, would appreciate this addition. I thought I might be the only one who noticed this omission. Turning on CWT is the first thing I do after landing on a band. I'm a CW-only type and I never operate without it ... or SPLIT mode, for that matter. It could remain on all the time CW is the chosen mode. 73!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - CWT ON/OFF change request
Hi Joe, Thanks for the observation. Yes, I now confirm that if I'm operating CW with the CWT function turned ON and then switch to another band (which was previously left in CW mode) then the CWT will remain ON. However, if the band I switched to is any other mode then CW then the CWT function is turned OFF. So it looks like half the request I asked for is already implemented! Now all that is needed is to change the firmware to leave the CWT function in whatever state I left it in prior to changing from CW to any other mode.

On my K3 (running firmware 2.78), the CWT stays on when switching bands. It does turn off if I change modes, but it seems like the band change part of your request has already been granted. If you're not running the latest firmware, this might be a good excuse to upgrade :-) 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Jan 20, 2009, at 6:18 PM, Ken Kopp wrote: Yes, Yes ... me too!
