Back in my novice days, I used PSE K all the time. And, on AM voice,
we said, "What say somebody, Please K (or Go Ahead). Now, I tend to
use AR K... but on further reflection, I -like- the idea of saying
"please". Good example for the grandkids, too.

squeezing, so

Hank,
And others reading the QST review: AS they mention, the rig was
designed and programmed and built in CHINA, and as they comment,
its CW
memory string was from a culture who use a polite form of
expressions.
Thus PSE K is a culturally logical way for the programmer to have
expressed the CQ message.
