I gently suggest that what the K3 needs is a Configuration option for Keying Compensation. Keying Compensation is different from Key Weighting. See page 10 of this document for a good explanation. http://k1el.tripod.com/files/Winkey10.pdf
The K3 needs about 6 milliseconds of Keying Compensation to sound and be right. I use both the K1EL WinKeyer and CMOS Super Keyer II which provide Keying Compensation adjustment. If Elecraft implements Keying Compensation, please make it effective for both the internal keyer and external keying. Right now, using the internal keyer produces distinctly light keying at any speed above 25 WPM. Note, it will not sound light to you because the monitor side tone has no shaping. But the signal going out on the air is light.
