Hi Jim, thanks for replying. I am running the latest firmware and I do have VOX delay set in CW mode. However the 'bug' appears to only affect keying with external keyer, and works fine with the internal KX3 keyer.
Slightly annoying as I prefer to use my old CMOS superkeyer to anything else because I am familiar with it and like its timing. 73 David Anderson GM4JJJ > On 1 Sep 2015, at 13:53, jimk...@aol.com wrote: > > You need to set the VOX Delay while in the CW mode, to a long enough time to > keep the transverter from dropping out.
