[Elecraft] TR speed and receiver settling

I'm not quite sure how to ask this, and perhaps it's covered somewhere
else (again, not knowing how to ask leaves me having trouble finding
it in the archives) :)

Anyhow, in a fast paced contest such as this weekend's ARRL DX CW, I
found myself wishing that the time between finishing transmitting and
the time when the receiver settles to be faster.

I.e. I send my call, and before I the audio comes back to normal
levels, the other station is partially into repeating my call. I tried
changing the TR values in the menu, but that didn't really change
things. I also tried reducing sidetone volume significantly, thinking
that might help, but it didn't really help much.

Again, apologies for not knowing the technical jargon to describe
this, but hopefully I've given enough info to get the point across.

So, is there a knob somewhere, or something I could adjust to achieve
what I'm looking for?

Thanks for any thoughts,

PS: Love this radio, the DSP was a life saver for weak signals this
last weekend. I worked stuff that I couldn't have copied without the
DSP. Bravo!
