[Elecraft] K3 RTTY 4 Second Delay

[Wayne Burdick]

The IM prosign can also be inserted at the end of CW/DATA messages using the message editor in K3 and KX3 Utility. I believe it's the "|" (pipe) character. This character is not sent on the air when it appears in a message memory, and in DATA mode it is not sent at all, even when inserted "live" by the keyer paddle.
