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

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

See CW QRO and TX DELAY in the menu.  Also the benefits and likely 
issues are described in the manual, page 58 and 66 as MENU items.    As 
to using other means to key the radio and amp and send CW, those may 
have their own settings as required.

While I do not consider myself a high speed CW op, I do work QSK.   I do 
not find any truncation of the first CW element.    I use the internal 
keyer and either a Vibroplex Iambic paddle or a Vibroplex single level 
paddle.  I have VOX set to ON, CW QRO  is OFF and TX DLY to NOR and 008.

Hope this helps.
