[Elecraft] Clipping first element of CW - K3/KPA-1500

[john at kk9a.com]

Try sending your callsign as TN4ZR :)  I believe TX Delay 8 is  
technically less than 8ms however I am guessing that is not your  
problem since the KPA1500 is very fast. It would help if you gave a  
description of how you are sending CW.

Running into what I'm sure is a simple matter of menu settings, but...
My K3 is set for PTT with a "normal" TX delay of 008 (I presume 8 ms.),
driving a KPA-1500.  I am getting persistent reports of clipping one
dash worth at the beginning of each transmission, so my casll becomes
"E4ZR", for example.  I've been through both manuals, and aside from
setting a higher TX Delay, I don't know what I can do to clean this up.

so what am I missing?
