[Elecraft] K3 shortening CW dits

[Dave Hachadorian]

Bingo! That's the answer!  Many thanks Bill!

I confirm that keying compensation = 6 produces nice 50% duty cycle dits 
with the K3.

Dave,

What you have found applies to all K3 radios when keyed by the KEY IN port.
The key-down duration is too short by about 6 ms, independent of sending
speed. I address it by setting the Keying Compensation in my WinKeyer to 6.
