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

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I believe -.--. has always been a left-hand parenthesis. 

Since Hams didn't use parenthesis in CW communications, it didn't produce a
conflict. (For me, the toughest part of passing the commercial RadioTelegaph
license test back in the 1950's was learning to copy all the punctuation
marks Hams never use mixed into 5-letter groups at 20 WPM.)

I enjoy the new @ character. Now I can get sloppy and sign my call @7@

Forgive me for making a slight correction to that, Don, but KN is not a 
prosign but is defined as a left-hand bracket in the latest 
recommendations of the ITU. The latest definitions were prepared 
primarily to include the Morse code sequence for @ (prosign AC).

Consequently, K N should really be separated by a space.
