Thanks Jim I think we ID'd it as SSTV near 14.230 but you are right as usual. Time for me to get setup for digital and at least learn what they all look/sound like.  Sounds easy enough. I'll add it to the list. Thanks to all who replied!  Question answered; thread is dead, Fred!

[Elecraft] Default K3 transmit delay may be too short for slow QRO amplifiers
