The "delayed CW" was there before I put PTT on the Control port - if I
remember back to June VHF, I added PTT *RTS* to the Control port so that
pressing F1 (CQ) would key the K3.

That is also configured in WT - PTT Pin 7 RTS on COM1

With Control on COM8 it switches radios fast ..... Just doesn't send CW for
the first 1 or 2 seconds.

And the problem goes away with multiple soft and / or cold boots / power
cycle the u2R / restart Router / and hold your breath!   It is not real
consistent.   But when it starts it's sometimes a long process before it
goes away.
And, again, this is without any changes on the PC, radios, Router or brand
of beer.

Fortunately the shack computer has a real LPT port that makes that possible.
