My only complaint in both my K2s was the ability to have my contesting

this idea was not carried over into the K3 (or at least make it
optional).
Can the K3 use the PTT line on CW without going key down? i.e. simply
placing the rig in transmit before a CW character is sent?
Yes. There are separate connectors for PTT in, handkey/keyer/computer,
paddle, and keying out (to amps or transverters). There's also digital
band data out (4 lines) and various other signals on the ACC jack.
I can't wait to get my hands on one...I'm just hoping eBay won't be
flooded
with K2s going up for sale. ;-)
Me too! They're two entirely different rigs, with different purposes.
