I think there's a bit more to it than that, Joe. My recollection, based on my experience in SS CW a couple of years back, is that if CONFIG:TX DLY is set to 20 ms, the K3's CW (with an external keyer) is "choppy" even when using semi-breakin or PTT. I can't be 100% sure whether I was using VOX or PTT, but I know for certain I was not using QSK, and I got reports of "distinctive-sounding" CW, not just a truncated first element. Setting CONFIG:TX DLY to 8 ms appears to have fixed it.
