K2 SSB mode and T/R switch time

info4mjs
Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this but the time for my K2 to switch from transmit back to receive in the SSB mode seems a bit lengthy.  It's probably in the 200-400 mS range which is annoying.  Am I missing a menu controlled item or is something wrong?

Any insight would be appreciated.

After logging 147 contacts during FD at the 5W level, this issue became very annoying.

Thanks

Mike, WA1SEO

Mike,

Is it possible that you have the K2 set for VOX operation ('L' or 'U'
indicator blinking)? - if so, the VOX delay will increase the time for
switching back to receive.  The PTT switch will still activate the transmit
condition even though VOX is selected.  Press the TEST/VOX button until Ptt
is indicated and try it.  With PTT selected, the transition time should be
the same as on CW, and that delay can be controlled by the 8R hold time set
in the menu by the T-R parameter.
