4 second tail-end delay on RTTY

[Steve Reichlyn]

GM, folks
I've been using cw-to-rtty on my K3. I have read that sending "IM" at the end of the transmission to end transmission but it just extends the tail for another 4 seconds. I send IM bumped together as a pro sign but no joy. Any sage advice?

I find it impossible for me to send IM with the paddle and have it recognized by the K3. Instead I edited my CW memories to have a pipe character (vertical bar) at the end. Eg. DE K0DTJ |. It's not sent on CW and does a fine job on RTTY.

This prosign is in daily use by many K3 and KX3 ops (including me)…it really does work. But it may take some practice because it's not a character you grew up with.

If the text decoder shows "IM" when you send the "..--" prosign, then you're leaving space that's just a bit too long between the ".." and the "--". Try thinking of it as sending Morse for the number "2", but leaving off the last dash.
