[Elecraft] TR speed and receiver settling

[Ken Alexander]

There must be, and somebody more knowledgeable than me
is bound to jump in and tell you how to set it up! 
8-)

I found that my K2 (without me doing anything) was set
up for what I would consider to be full break-in,
i.e., I could receive between each of the dits and
dahs I was sending!  It's a bit disconcerting at
first, but I appreciated having it so I could hit the
Escape key and stop sending my call a second time when
I could hear the DX station transmitting.
