KX3 - VOX Delay with CW in SSB mode

Jimk8mr
With the ARRL VHF contest coming up, I'm still waiting to hear if there has
 been any progress in getting a delay in the PTT output, vs. full breakin
only,  when using CW in SSB?
 
When driving a (non-Elecraft) transverter, one needs some delay in the  
circuit that keys the transverter. The delay time used in straight CW would be  
fine.

Jim,

I just re-tested this with both a keyer paddle and a hand-key. If you set up a VOX delay setup in CW mode, then switch to SSB and hit the key, on release you get the same delay that was in effect for CW mode. (Of course this requires that CW-IN-SSB be turned on by tapping '1' in the CW WGHT menu entry.)

The break-in delay for CW purposes must be set up in CW mode. As you rotate the DELAY control, it shows "CW x.xx". When you're in SSB mode, the delay setting applies to voice-mode VOX. Rotating the control shows "VOX x.xx".

Let me know if you have trouble getting this to work.

73,
