[Elecraft] KX3 - Adjustable RTY/PSK Idle Timeout

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

Send the IM character to stop transmission immediately.  That is sent as 
a prosign would be - dit dit dah dah, and not as 2 letters. If you have 
trouble sending it correctly, think of it as sending the numeral 2 
without the last dah.
You can also imbed that character in memories.  It will not send 
anything in CW, but will end transmission immediately in data modes.

73,
