Hi Paul
Can you define "pure" PTT CW?
I assume you mean CW is inactivated until you activate PTT, and the
rig stays in TX mode until you release PTT, yet sends a signal only
when the paddles are pressed. Is that it? Lets you use a something
like a foot switch for total control?

In the reply, and the link enclosed, by Lexa, ok1dst, are given reasons why
some desire a "pure" PTT mode for CW. There are also some excellent contest
and dx operators who, for their own personal reasons, do not use QSK. I
know that ON4UN told me several years ago at Ham-Com in Texas that he did
not use QSK.
I am in no way trying to tell Elecraft what their priorities for changes
should be; but I hope that, if not too much trouble and too dificult to
implement, that a "pure" PTT CW will be made an available option in the K3
for those of us who want it. For now, and not for the first time in my life,
it is work around time.
