[Elecraft] Dropped First Syllable

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I have seen that with both PTT and VOX in Ham and commercial operations. The
VOX issue is well known. In PTT some operators develop the habit of starting
to speak before fully depressing the PTT switch. I've watched operators do
that repeatedly without realizing it even after they were aware that they
tended to do that.

Sorry for the thread drift, but, has there ever been an investigation into
response time of hitting the PTT and beginning to speak?  Occasionally I
hear the first syllable being lost and I've wondered if this is due to time
delays in the equipment or the user, or both.  Brings back memories of
bucket-brigade delay-lines.
