In many rigs the VOX control will perform the OFF function you're looking for. With VOX off you'll need to push a Transmit button or supply an external PTT signal to activate the transmitter. I haven't read the manual yet but I bet the K3 works the same way.
OFF is a very good idea when you're out of the shack. A couple years ago there was a "ditter" who was tracked down and found to be a ham with a misadjusted key that was sending out a steady stream of dits while he was out of the shack unawares. He was duly mortified when the DFers showed up at his front door. Also a good idea if you have cats. -- Carl WS7L _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
