Mike,
I think that the second antenna port (without a tuner) was not high on
the list of the designcriteria when the K3 started off. Changing a full
grown product and full grown production line now is not wise. Not that
it cannot be done, but how much must one invest to get this done and how
Guys,
On the other hand, there nothing wrong with trying to characterize the
beastie you have as best you can. If for no other reason to see if
something changes with time and how much.
Also, how does my kit comparing to other kits which presumable have
similar but not identical
Hi Gary, group, Elecraft support,
I think I have found a strong correlation between CW in SSB not
working and the QRQ setting. Here follows:
To make CW in SSB work: set CONFIG:QRQ to OFF, power-cycle the K3.
To break CW in SSB: set CONFIG:QRQ to ON, power-cycle the K3.

What you are requesting is easier to implement externally. I for one think
there are too many options. I need to cut internal AF switching to A-b, A-A,
b-b. It takes too long to cycle through all the switchig AF options when in
the contest. So I will implement what I need externally

other options for the filter? I'd optimally like
