Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New behavior using JT65
Brian, As I told the original poster, I suspect a bad audio cable that is picking up noise and continuing to activate the VOX. He had both VOX and PTT active, and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I don't think it is a KX3 problem. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/26/2017 9:59 AM, Brian Waterworth wrote: That's weird.

That's weird. I have not experienced an intermittent VOX. Mind you, I run with VOX on all the time and have at least a hundred hours in this mode and VOX setting. Very stable.

Has been happening to me here also. And it is intermittant.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New behavior using JT65
Dave, You still may want to check that cable - or perhaps the soundcard has a high noise floor. When the audio stops, the KX3 should drop out of transmit when using VOX. Of course, I don't know what happens if VOX and PTT are asserted together. Cables are always one of the high failure items in any system. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/25/2017 6:43 PM, David F.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] New behavior using JT65
Dave, Are you using VOX? If so, try replacing the cable between the soundcard and the KX3 mic jack, I am thinking it may have a broken shield and is picking up noise. Try switching to PTT instead of VOX. I don't know your software application nor its capabilities, but you likely need a "one transistor keying interface" to drive the KX3 PTT input. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/25/2017 5:42 PM, 'David F.
