[Elecraft] Prosign "IM" to end K3 RTTY idle not working: Solved

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

That is how most all prosigns should be sent.  Not as individual 
letters, but with no spaces between.
If you look at properly typeset prosigns, you will see them represented 
with a bar over the top - that means what is represented by the letters 
shown is only a representation - send the elements all run together 
rather than as separate letters.  You send the "AS" prosign as 
didahdididit, "KN" as dahdidahdahdit, etc.  In emails and other text 
formats, it is difficult to represent the bar over the characters unless 
graphics are used.

The space between each element should be only a dit time rather than a 
dah time as you would see between different letters.

73,
Don W3FPR
