[Elecraft] Operating Split with the K2

[Hank Kohl K8DD]

I noticed the lag in the VFO display switching .... and also if I had my 
mouth going the instant I hit the footswitch the stations on the other end 
would come back to "the 8deltadelta".  After a few of these I noticed that 
the wattmeter was not moving until the third syllable of the 
"kiloeightdeltadelta".

So I started to give the footswitch a half second lead time over the mouth 
and more stations got the kilo.
