[Elecraft] K3: CW delay is used when exiting XMIT mode manually

John,
as I already comment directly to you - what is important for me is to 
know if this delay is also in VOX-off situation. I hope not, only want 
to be sure. If VOX-on and semi-BK then I understand and expect such 
delay, if VOX-on and full-BK (QSK) there will be also some delay 
probably but related to QSK delay which is not important.
So can anybody confirm behaviour (presence of any delay) vhen VOX-off 
and XMIT activated/deactivated?

Thanks and 73!
Lexa, ok1dst
