When I was a kid and had my tech license I only operated on 2m packet
and fm repeater operation. I really liked that I could go in on 2m or
440 and then come out on HF packet and get a little further. But the
only time I got to operate on the real bands was during field day. As a

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 :)

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
John,
I don't think that would work. The key line is not the only means of
keying the K3 - the 'KY' command for instance can be used, or the TUNE
button, or DTR or RTS keying.

Instead of using an intial time delay, why not force the K3 to wait
This is another way of describing what I'm proposing, John. If /KEY is
found asserted anytime during the 2-second power-on sequence, the K3
might show ERR KEY and prevent TX until the line as been released. If
re-asserted anytime after that, the message would go away by itself,
and TX would
Don,
The K3 could inhibit all methods of transmit that appear to be active
during the first 2 seconds of power-on, even the KY and TX commands
from a PC.
Don't forget that I control both the horizontal and the vertical :)

I think that it is a great idea. The line has to go non-active first
before it is allowed to key the radio.

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.

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.

Maybe another solution could be to optionally (menu/config?) power up
in TX-inhibit (Test mode). Tx-inhibit could then be reset by hitting the
key/paddle, mic PTT or the TEST button.
