Brett,
I think that either your feeble old memory or mine has mixed up the
capabilities of other keyers with the accu memory.
There was an Accu-Memory II that was only available in a commercial version
that may have had features such as this, but I don't believe that the original
was that sophisticated.
I thought that such pauses for input were started in keyers such as the
venerable KC Keyer and some from AEA.
