[Elecraft] K3 LONG delay in TX after TXINH removed (solved)

[Mark]

Be aware that Ed's circuit is much like mine in that it does not have a pull down on the 
TxInh line.  Therefore it could act like mine did and extend the time till transmit is 
enabled.  A resistor to ground might be a good addition if this is important. 

Also as a side note, the kx3 is different from the k3 in that it has a pull up on its txinh pin 
(actually on ACC2) so if you select txinh=hi, the radio will not transmit without something 
to pull the line down.
