[Elecraft] K3: using vox as PTT for digital modes
Great, turning the VOX gain up made it work. I had it first at 40 (set for my microphone level) but have it now at 70 and the VOX kicks in when I transmit in MMTTY or in digipan this transceiver rocks ! - Wim - Original Message From: Greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Wim Dewilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 9:02:36 PM Subject: RE: [Elecraft] K3: using vox as PTT for digital modes Wim, Have you tried adjusting your VOX gain in the main menue?

That would be a neat feature addition as I do have a second soundcard in the PC dedicated for HAM digital modes, so no windows sound will trip the VOX. I was using a signalink SL1+ before that basically activated PTT when detecting audio out of the PC.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: using vox as PTT for digital modes
This is what your feel is best for you. However, my PTT line is dedicated to my RTTY TNC. I would have to remove it or switch it out for sound card modes. Sound card digital modes here are only to chase a rare one that doesn't show up on other modes. Having VOX activated transmit is simple and what I use. If by "software" PTT you mean a command (rather than a line on some cable) that activates xmit, yes that a super way. However, it isn't supported by quite a few rigs. I had it with an FT1000MP and it worked great. My current rig doesn't have it. Does the K3? I hope they don't eliminate this VOX capability. Yes there are drawbacks -- like I have to turn of the DX spot announce function of spotting program! Counting the days (well months really) till the K3 arrives. 73 de Brian/K3KO Brett Howard wrote: > > I'd rather not see this on the todo list.

I second that Brett, DM780 (via the standard serial lead) and MMTTY (with the addition of a switching transistor as per their help files) both key the K3 just fine without needing VOX and it's inherent issues with beeps and squeaks from Windows.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: using vox as PTT for digital modes
Hi Wim, VOX as PTT for DATA-A -mode works just fine, at least here with my K3 #310. Please check your VOX GN setting in menu and make sure that VOX ( holding the band-down button ) is set to VOX an not to PTT. Also try adjusting the LINE -setting ( speed/mic knob set to MIC selected ) It should work..

Re: [Elecraft] K3: using vox as PTT for digital modes
I tried using VOX as the PTT for digital soundcard modes but that doesn't seem to work... A while back I used VOX in DATA A mode. Haven't tried it in a while, but the intent is that it work. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: using vox as PTT for digital modes
I'd rather not see this on the todo list. I feel the PTT on the DB9 is more than ample and will prevent many others from sending many windows sounds over the air. Most software will key a rig over CAT commands and this is the way this should be done.
