[Elecraft] K3 with K1EL

[Greg]

Mats,

Check your config menu for TX DLY.  You may need to reduce it some.
This is from the manual:

(Advanced) For use with external amplifiers that have slow relays; sets the time
from KEY OUT jack (active low) to first RF in 1-ms steps. To minimize loss of
QSK speed, use the shortest delay that works with your amp. Most will work with
the default (minimum) setting of 8 ms.
CAUTION: If you use any setting above 008, and you’re using an external
keyer in CW mode, you should listen to your keying on another receiver. At
some code speeds and keyer weight settings, your CW keying may exhibit
excessive jitter (per-element variation) that can be heard on the air.
Note: If CW QRQ is set to ON, the minimum delay from KEY OUT to first RF
will be somewhat shorter (approx. 4 to 5 ms rather than 8 ms).
