True. TXDelay is a sequencing parameter to assure that downstream
switching has completed before RF appears. The keying waveform
[particularly the edges and "corners"] affect the sidebands and thus
bandwidth of the CW signal. I don't believe QSK has anything to do with
it, at least for a K3.

There's a big discussion going on in contesting circles online about
the problem of key clicks. There's been a lot of discussion about
settings called things like TXDelay, but so far as I can tell (and the
manual confirms), the K3's TX delay is intended to protect amplifier
relays at the start of a transmission. So long as you don't run QSK,
I would think that setting would have no influence on key clicks after
the rise of the first CW element. True?
