Don,
The K3/K3S will automatically handle the offset if you configure it
to do so. From the K3 Owner's Manual, page 29:
SSB/CW VFO Offset
The K3 can automatically offset the VFO frequency when you switch
from SSB to CW mode, so other stations will hear the correct CW
pitch. See CONFIG:CW
There are two parts to this: the correct sideband, and the correct
frequency. On the K3/K3S, CW is on lower sideband, and CW-REV is on
upper sideband. On bands where you use LSB for SSB, switching to CW will
still be on the correct sideband, but on bands where you use USB for
SSB, you will
Bob,
Assuming you have the CW signal (in SSB mode) tuned to your sidetone
pitch ---
You will have to re-tune by the amount of your sidetone pitch when
switching to CW.
The K3 (and all other Elecraft transceivers) insert a VFO offset between
SSB and CW equal to the sidetone pitch set into
Your SSB bandwidth (passband) is prob 2.7 kHz and your CW passband might be
400. You not only have to consider the side and but your side tone offset and
bandwidth.
There is a setting in the CONFIG menu to make this work however.

When I'm in SSB mode and I tune down to the CW frequencies, I can easily
tune in a CW signal. Then, I switch to CW mode, and the CW signal is gone
because I'm on the wrong sideband. Even if I'm on the right sideband, the CW
signal disappears. Shouldn't I be able to switch from SSB to CW and not
