Carl,
The character '@', when embedded in a "KY<text>" CW keying packet, will
do one of two things:
1. terminate the transmission, or
2. send .--.-. which is the Morse pattern for '@' (you can also think of
it as the prosign "AC")
To select which behavior you want, go into CONFIG:CW WGHT and tap '2'
on the keypad. You can select either "@=STOP" or "@='AC'". The latter
is useful if you want to send e-mail addresses in CW. In fact '@' is
the newest Morse character and was adopted for just this purpose.
The problem you're describing appears to be with "@=STOP" selected.
I'll see if I can duplicate this. Meanwhile, you might want to change
it to the "AC" prosign.
There are two other "meta" characters that can be inserted into an
ASCII text packet: '<' (go into TX TEST mode) and '>' (exit TX TEST
mode). These and '@' are documented in the K3 Programmer's Reference
(available on our K3 page). Refer to the 'KY' command description.
Let me know if this helps--

More info:
The evil mode is not cleared by cycling power, restoring a
configuration, or
reloading firmware. So I still don't know what causes or relieves the
problem. I also observed the problem on V1.96.
Sometimes, but not always, the CW speed will change when the tone goes
to
zero. The speed will go to either 8 WPM or 0 WPM.
When it's in evil mode, all I have to do to zero my tone is start the
K3
utility and type "KY @;". I then restore tone and keyer speed with the
front
panel controls and all operates normally until the next time I send
"KY @;".
Eventually a miracle occurs and I can send "KY @;" as much as I want
until
the next time the demons possess it.
I am logging all everything I send over RS232 but so far nothing looks
odd.
I'll keep looking.
Any other ideas for things to clear/reset, things to watch for, etc.,
appreciated. Thanks!
