Scenario: 

KX3 with external transverter and amplifier on 144MHz. (Transverter 
RX/TCswitched from KX3 keyline out).
Wish to use CW+SSB feature where hitting the key in SSB mode transmits CW. This 
is an option in the CW WGHT menu, selected by tapping 1.
CW in SSB is something that is used on VHF DX where fading sometimes means 
having to quickly switch to CW from SSB during a QSO.

Result:

Tapping the key in SSB mode now keys the PTT line to transverter at the keying 
rate, irrespective of DLY setting or whether VOX or PTT is selected.

So it cannot be be used as the relay switching in the transverter and amplifier 
is not capable of switching at the CW keying rate.

Questions:

Is this how this feature was meant to work? 

Could it be altered so that the CW VOX delay is honoured when using CW in SSB 
mode? This would then allow the feature to be useful with external PTT 
(Keyline) driven transverters. 

Many thanks,
