// CW keying through the Kenwood/Elecraft keyer — the KY command.
//
// Same idea as the Yaesu KY engine and the Icom / Flex keyers: the radio holds
// the text and keys it with its own timing, so an Elecraft K3 (or any rig that
// speaks this dialect) needs NO WinKeyer and NO second COM port — the single CAT
// link does frequency, mode AND CW. That matters on a K3, whose one USB port is
// the CAT port; a separate serial keyer would need a second cable OpsLog can't
// give it.
//
// KY; → KYn; n=0 buffer has room, n=1 buffer full
// KY <text>; queue up to 24 characters (the space after KY is part
// of the command, not padding)
// KS nnn; keyer speed in WPM (three digits)
// RX; drop to receive — used to abort a send
//
// KY is the Elecraft-documented CW-over-CAT path on the K3/K4. A rig that refuses
// it answers "?;", which SendCW turns into a stated reason rather than silence.
