How to set Transmit Delay?

James Charlton

Radio is 6600M Ver. 3.5.9, driving a PGXL with a TGXL.

I am a CW operator and I was experimenting setting my transmit delay (Menu/Transmit/TX Delay) to eliminate clipping the first dot off my callsign. This is a new problem possibly caused by cold restarting the radio. The value is currently 0ms. When the radio worked properly, TX Delay was 40ms.

Previously, I changed this value by touching the number. This caused a little numeric keypad to appear on the screen which I used to enter whatever number I wanted. I'd hit 'return' and the number was entered into the TX Delay field and the keypad disappeared.

Now, I seem to have **** something up. I touch the number field and an odd little window opens instead of the numeric pad. In that window I must write the number I want to enter and then hit 'return'. That will enter the written number in the TX Delay field. It will stay there until I hit the key. Then the number reverts to 0ms.

So, I have 2 questions: How do I get the numeric keypad back and, How do I get the number to stay in the TX Delay field?

I realize this is due to operator error, but I still can't seem to fix it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
