Hello Gerald,
I did not know this... I don't use any software to control my K2 or KX3
but I was aware that the @ character exists in Morse code and therefore
I assumed it should not be used as a control character. I did not look
it up in the manual. If this could be solved in the KX3 firmware then
your request is ok, of course. I also did not know that the software you
use is no longer supported by it's developers. Pity that these
characters cannot be picked and set in an initialisation file so that
the user can decide what key sequences can be used for what function.
Good luck in finding a solution!

Hello Peter
Well, that only looks like another way for a solution. But the KX3
manual describes exactly this point in detail how to choose between
the usage of this character. The K2 uses '@' to stop cw transmissions
which means that there is more older software around which is in that
way programmed. Not all programmers are willing to update their
software any longer and it would be a pity if these older software
could no longer be used. Elecraft is certainly aware of this
situation. From the programming side it is no big deal to implement
this function in the KX3 firmware. It might have gone forgotten and
is certainly not of high importance. But I hope Elecraft finds the
time and is willing to finish the published menu points.

Should RUMped not use another control character instead? In my view
@ has a valid morse code counterpart (.--.-.) so should be sent "as
is" in text?

The '@' character can't be chosen to stop cw transmitting. This
makes software like RUMped unusable for cw activity with the KX3
as the '@' is just sent as part of the text. Will this function
be available in the near future?
