[Elecraft] WSJT-X Problem with K3S

[Nr4c]

Mine only transmits for around 42 seconds.   So should not impact the rec on next minute.

Many PC station programs like N1MM+ can add transfer delays only where they apply, as do WinKey equipped devices which can apply CW key speed related "word space" intervals.
