The real answer here is that the K3 always indicates the carrier frequency.
There is no shift on SSB.
When changing from SSB to CW, the receive frequency is shifted by the amount of the sidetone pitch. The result is that the CW signal is now at an audio frequency of zero, which neither your ears nor the K3 audio stages can detect.

The K3 does have a CW in SSB menu setting that modifies that behavior and will allow one to send CW while in SSB mode.

is lost. I'm talking about very strong signals, not stuff in the background.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong to not be able to copy them on CW?
