[Elecraft] K3 RTTY Delay on RX

I don't have LPT on this computer.  I have the RS-232 PTT in the K3 menu 
set to OFF OFF.  The serial # is #1037.  I am wondering if there was a 
change made in the pull up resistors as a little while ago I removed my 
PTT IN lead from my remote microbit box which was turned off and it 
cured the problem. I don't have time to pursue it any more now as I 
burned up a horrible amount of time today trying to figure it out.  I 
don't have anything hooked to the ACC jack other than what I need for 
FSK RTTY.  I will pursue it next week.

We had a problem like his with the DVK out of the computer during phone 
SS in Nov.  I think Joe W0DB  who operated from here had something 
plugged into PTT in for SO2R but I have to confirm that with him.  More 
next week.

Thanks Dave!
