Ken and All,
I haven't followed this thread very closely, so now I'm a bit confused about
the subject line. If I understand it right, the question is can the K3 be
set up so that you can just hit the paddle and be on CW, even though you
have currently selected SSB. Is that right? If so, I'm not sure why the
thread subject line says "Linking the VFO's.......". I would think it would
just be a matter of automatically changing the mode temporarily for
transmit.
I would assume that Elecraft can do this, and if they do, the offset will
be whatever you set it for. Your CW sidetone is fully adjustable, and that
would be the process. My FT-897 (I assume the FT-857 has it too) has this
feature, and it is pretty handy at times. Via the menu you can set this
feature to be active (menu #22), and you can even choose whether the offset
is up, down, or automatically selected for you (menu #23). But the amount
of the offset is based on whatever you have set previously for CW operation,
which is what you would want. You can be talking on SSB, then just hit the
paddle to send in CW. I don't think it involves more than just the VFO you
have currently selected.
I'm probably missing something here as far as what the original question
really was.

Me, too! I'd -really- welcome this feature. BUT, I'd like to be able to
select the off-set tone. The 700 Hz suggested earlier is -way- too
high! (:-))

Add my vote to this. I can't even estimate how many contacts I have missed
while changing modes and retuning.

I agree completely with Joe, having found this a convenient feature on
