Elecraft k3 : is there a way to shorten...

Hi
Is there a way to shorten the 'diddle" at the end of an fsk transmission when you are using the internal fsk decoder/encoder programmatically?
I know that in the k3 utility you can set the length of this but what if you are not using the utility and writing you own code?
Thanks, Tom

Yes. Just send "..--" (think of it as the prosign "IM", or "IMmediately stop transmitting"). This terminates both FSK-D and PSK-D transmissions within about 1 second.

I'm not at the rig at the moment, but I believe you can also send an EOT character to stop the diddle.

"KY " + chr(4) + ";"

Hi, Thanks for all the responses. I tried them all and the results are below:
1) Send vertical bar....nope doesn't work

2) Send IM prosign: doesn't seem to work in FSK or PSK. The actual letters IM are transmitted?

3) Send EOT character: Works!

Thanks for all the suggestions. The app will be out shortly.

That works in K3 memories and from K3 Utility - the vertical bar is
interpreted as the IM prosign (no space between the letters). It may
not work in logging programs.

Should work, but it must be entered as one 'letter' like other
prosigns. It works fine from the paddles.

Yes, supported by most loggers.
