TR speed and receiver settling

[Jeff Kinzli]

I'm not quite sure how to ask this, and perhaps it's covered somewhere
else (again, not knowing how to ask leaves me having trouble finding
it in the archives) :)

Anyhow, in a fast paced contest such as this weekend's ARRL DX CW, I
found myself wishing that the time between finishing transmitting and
the time when the receiver settles to be faster.

I.e. I send my call, and before I the audio comes back to normal
levels, the other station is partially into repeating my call. I tried
changing the TR values in the menu, but that didn't really change
things. I also tried reducing sidetone volume significantly, thinking
that might help, but it didn't really help much.

Again, apologies for not knowing the technical jargon to describe
this, but hopefully I've given enough info to get the point across.

So, is there a knob somewhere, or something I could adjust to achieve
what I'm looking for?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Jeff KA6LAF

PS: Love this radio, the DSP was a life saver for weak signals this
last weekend. I worked stuff that I couldn't have copied without the
DSP. Bravo!

There must be, and somebody more knowledgeable than me
is bound to jump in and tell you how to set it up!

I found that my K2 (without me doing anything) was set
up for what I would consider to be full break-in,
i.e., I could receive between each of the dits and
dahs I was sending!  It's a bit disconcerting at
first, but I appreciated having it so I could hit the
Escape key and stop sending my call a second time when
I could hear the DX station transmitting.
