One thing that might cause the odd spacing is if MMTTY is set to transmit "WORD 
OUT" rather than "CHARACTER OUT". (This can also set it to "LINE OUT".) The 
wait may be till the word is in the buffer and then it goes into TX.  This 
setting is under "Option(O)" at the top of the screen.

  I also use a microHam interface and do not have that problem.

  The only thing I can think of with a microham interface doing that is with 
the strict bps box checked.

  For me if it sent RTTY that slow I would throw it in the trash.
