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

[Bill W5WVO]

Hi Lexa,

We had a long thread about CW MOX a while back, and the final statement on the 
matter was that there is no delay when used in this way -- on immediately when 
you press the switch, off immediately when you release the switch.
