K3 #3857 Up and Running-- CW clicks??

KM4VX
Although I love my K2, which I am keeping, I now have a K3 on the air today. Fantastic rig. I may even get a chance to operate once I configure this amazing radio. I am trying the new K3 EZ software for following what I am doing in setting up the radio. I see from the reflector that there have been instances of clicks when sending CW. I am experiencing the same problem, and don't see a resolution to the problem on the relector. I have tried my straight key and paddle, and get clicks when sending CW. I send at 15 WPM. Has anyone found a good answer to this problem. I hear the clicks in my headset and in the speaker. RF feedback? Thanks, and again this is one dream radio to configure and I look forward to actually operating it soon. P.S. Radio was factory assembled and arrived yesterday.

Thank you for the replies. I have discovered the difference between semi break-in delay, which is controlled by the delay knob on the radio, and the TX DLY feature in the configuration menu. I use semi  break-in and have now reset that higher using the knob on the radio vice the menu feature..  I raised mine to 0.08 and the clicks disappeared. I hope this may be helpful to others. The default setting for this front panel delay knob was 0.01, which resulted in lots of clicking. 73.
