I was trying to figure out why my K3 wasn't transmitting in CW as part of screwing up my courage to try a first CW QSO. (I want to wait a while yet and do more listening before I actually try.) I fired up the K3 utility to check that the 2.7KHz filter was enabled for CW transmit. It was. Oh rats, I'll actually have to read the manual.
Well, I noticed that I was a bit out of date on firmware updates, so I saved the configuration file from the K3 and clicked install all. W1AW code practice switched in and out as the K3 reset itself during the firmware loads. I wondered if the reload had fixed the problem so I cranked the power way down, found a clear spot on the band and keyed my call. VFO B showed up with the message "VOX=OFF". Aha! You need to turn VOX on for QSK mode. Problem solved. No manual referenced. The UI is as good as the rest of the radio.
