Victor's point is a good one.  Thus the question are you working full 
QSK or semi-QSK?   If the  TX Delay is long,  default is about 8 ms as I 
recall,  it will put in the required space for the correct timing to key 
an external amplifier.  This can occur between every CW element in QSK 
mode.    Also there is a Menu value for higher speed CW as opposed to 
what us old slow folks use.
