Joe,
I'm OK with this if there are no serious objections to it. It's an easy
firmware change.
Hopefully you'll also be able to fix the problem that the foot-switch
suppresses CW output.
Then while you have the covers off, Wayne...
At present the K3 is only supporting one part of the auto-CW scenario,
where the K3 user needs to transmit CW but can still copy the other
station on SSB. The second part is when fading forces both operators
into using weak-signal CW, so they will need the full facilities of CW
mode.
At present, selecting MODE=CW will cause the K3's transmitted signal to
jump frequency. To allow the QSO to continue without anyone needing to
re-tune, auto-CW (when enabled) should shift the VFO and display
frequency by the K3's sidetone offset, whenever the mode is changed
between SSB and CW. This is normal behavior in transceivers that fully
support auto-CW.
The requested change would not affect anyone who has not selected
auto-CW.
