<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was testing the K3 next to my TS850 with a
DigiKeyer and an USBII interface. I noted a little difference in the PTT
behaviour of these two rigs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>VOX is set to PTT. If I only make CW, only the
sidetone can be heard and there is no output (except some spurious) When I apply
PTT while sending CW or keydown, the K3 still does not start to send. Stopping
the CW signal with PTT on and starting again the K3 starts to send with power.
This is different from the TS850 where the PTT works independant of the presence
of a CW signal. Applying the signals via the normal connectors or via the RS232
cable makes no difference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe there were reasons for this design and it is
no problem for me, but there is a difference in PTT and CW between these two
transceivers.</FONT></DIV>
