It does not matter if one transmits "on the wrong sideband" - even if one is in USB the CW is close enough that the other station will hear you. > 3.

One needs to enable VOX (semi break-in) in CW before enabling CW in SSB and selecting SSB. > 4.

Although there are those who use low power for various data modes - just as there are those who use QRP for non-data modes - there is no requirement to do so. Having 200W for some MFSK and PSK modes or 500 W for AFSK and JT modes is quite useful when conditions are marginal. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 11/21/2012 7:40 AM, Ed Kuebert wrote:
Happy Thanksgiving to all! After using my K3 for about 5 months I have some requested minor changes to facilitate operation. 1. The lock function is great as I often reach for the wrong dial when working split; however, I often forget I have it on. It would be beneficial to automatically set it to "OFF" when the band is changed. 2. The CW during SSB is a good function particularly on 6 meters, but it will normally transmit on the wrong sideband. Could the CW during SSB selection be altered to add CW-REV as a selection so you would have OFF, CW, and CW-REV? Or, just make the selection OFF and CW-REV. 3.
