[Elecraft] K3S CW Delay on KEY OUT ?

[Svend Spanget]

I recently connected a Kuhne TR 144 H +40 to my K3 in order to be QRV on 2 m
for the upcoming Sporadic E season and weak signal dx.
I use the KXV3 with output power set to 1.5 mW (XV1 PWR = L 1.50).

It works fine but I have a few issues:

1. When switching on or after bandswitch the transverter is not driven to
full output. A short XMIT in FM mode somehow restores the output and going
back to SSB the output from the transverter is now as expected.

2. When using VOX with SSB the transverter is not keyed. Using PTT either
with a footswitch or the pushbutton on my MH2 keys the transverter just
fine. I have a cable connected to KEY OUT and the transverter.
Using VOX and SSB with my Henry 2KD-5 works perfect.

3. Calling CQ (or anything else) via KDVR3 also does not key the
transverter. Works fine with good old Henry.

4. Transmitting on another band keys the transverter. This isn't a big issue
as I can simply switch the transverter off and there is no output to the
transverter but the red ON AIR lights up...

The first 3 issues are really annoying.
Am I the only one to experience this?
Are there ways to fix this?
