[Lowfer] Delay between IDs

Hi, Kurt,

I have one of those K-IDs and just timed the key-up period between IDs
running at QRSS3 to be 19 seconds. This is a bit more than the standard
but looks fine on Argo - about 6 full ID repetitions fit on a QRSS3-slow
screen.

Of the seven messages programmed into that keyer, this one read

<set speed 0.4>UWL

in the letter that I sent with my order.  There were six other lines for
the other messages.  You can even switch speeds within a message:

UWL UWL UWL BCN QSL TO KD5UWL<set speed 0.04>UWL

The first part of that one would be at whatever default normal CW speed
you asked for.  I asked for 8wpm when I ordered mine, but today I'd
probably order 12 or faster.

Have fun,
Eric
