Hi Joe,
Your K3 is working normally. When in CW mode you must have VOX turned ON to
"enable" CW output power while keying regardless if QSK is selected or not.
In this case, while in CW mode, it is semantics. On my 7800 Icom makes a
distinction. When in SSB mode it's called VOX and in CW mode it's called
BK-IN (Break-in).
There's nothing wrong with your K3,

Subject: [Elecraft] CW with my new k3
K3/KPA #241 is operational. When transmitting cw, if VOX is active it
works, if VOX and QSK are active it works, but if QSK is active without
VOX it keys but no indication of power out. The Op Manual seems to say VOX
must be on, but I thought with qsk VOX would not be necessary
(semantics?). If someone can confirm this to be the case, I would
appreciate it.
I have made one qso, k3 to k3, vp6dx on 17m cw.
Thanks.
Joe
