I have now changed my message to include the "IM" prosign, and it cuts off instantly--doesn't even seem like 1 second--more like a few milliseconds. Previously I had been manually hitting the "XMIT" button to override the delay. Too bad it doesn't work on CW, as I also have a "CQ" message. Although I'm not typically a "CQer", but I've found that when the band is quiet (particularly 30 meters) calling CQ can liven things up now and then! Thanks for the tip Wayne. Have you thought about having an "operating hints" class for K3 owners? ( : Maybe at Dayton over wine and cheese!
