RIchard, There are no long delays inherent in the K3/K3S transmit timing. It should be ready to transmit RF within 5 to 15 ms of PTT assertion, depending on mode and other factors.
My apologies; I have not been closely reading this thread. I’ll come up to speed and get back to you. If this is a transceiver problem, we’ll fix it ASAP.
