I've connected a straight key to the key jack using a mono plug to practice sending code while learning morse code. I get tone when I key down, but there is quite a lag from key down to hearing the tone in my speaker. So much so that I can only send code very slowly and deliberately, about 4 to 6 seconds to send the letter "Q'. I've turned break-in off, tried disabling VAC and looked for other other settings that I might be missing. Touch key paddles seem to work ok, and I can increase and decrease the WPM through the slider, but the class i'm taking prefers I learn starting with a straight key.
Any ideas on what might be causing the lag with the straight key?
I'm using version 1.31 Update 8.
Thanks,
