Hi Bob, The Win-Test PTTOff script corrects the unwanted K3 PTT VOX delay! Hopefully Elecraft will eventually eliminate the unwanted PTT VOX delay too. Thanks 73 Frank W3LPL - Original Message - From: "Bob Wilson [via Elecraft]" To: "donovanf" Sent: Friday, February 1

This is getting harder to understand than organic chemistry was. See interspersed questions and results of trying to duplicate. Somehow, keying an external amp has come into this, the issue I've been trying to duplicate for you was excessive delay in going back to receive. On 2/14/2017 10:22
