This was an issue with the early Orion also. As I understand it, PTT in CW was eventually implemented on the Orion.
Some of the contesting software will raise PTT and delay a user specified time before keying to let the T/R switching settle. Also, on all the YaeCOMWood rigs I have used, releasing PTT returns to RX 'instantly' - cancelling any delay set for semi-breakin. Not having a QSK amplifier, and not particularly caring for QSK at all, PTT in CW capability is important to me. I routinely stomp on the foot switch to eliminate the clatter during CW contacts with my ICOM rig - been doing this ever since my DX-35 & way to old to change now. PLEASE make PTT active on CW in the K3!
