Re: [Elecraft] K3--Keying suddenly stopped
Yes, that was it, Vic. Apparently when I toggled the mode switch between ssb and cw I must have also dropped the VOX selection. I think this is an unfortunate control arrangement. I'd rather see a menu selection for this if it is necessary and get it off the button where it can be changed by accident.

[Elecraft] K3--Keying suddenly stopped
I was working the 7th District QSO Party, and doing fairly well at 5w on both cw and ssb. Then, just after I logged my 103rd QSO, the keying stopped. Neither the paddles nor the computer coming through the key jack will cause a signal to go out in cw mode. Keying the paddles does give cw sidetone and the red TX light over the headset jack lights in time to the keying. I've cycled through the TEST mode several times, but to no effect. Holding the XMIT/TUNE button does cause a carrier at normal power. Using either VOX or PTT on ssb generates a normal signal Either something has suddenly quit on me, or I've accidentally bumped some adjustment that now inhibits keying. No smell of leaking magic smoke, so I expect it is some adjustment that isn't obvious or documented. I've dug through the manual and both the MAIN and CONFIG menus, but nothing obvious. There is a TX INH menu selection, but it is in OFF status, as it was before the keying quit. I've tried cycling the power, but no change there. I'm stumped. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas or suggestions where I might look for something that is inhibiting cw TX?

Re: [Elecraft] K3--Keying suddenly stopped
Good point, Vic. Didn't check that, but I remember seeing it mentioned somewhere before. I'll check that in the morning. It would certainly go along with my idea that I just pushed something in the wrong way :-) Thanks and 73 Bob N6WG - Original Message - From: Vic K2VCO [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Robert Tellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Reflector Elecraft elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 10:18 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3--Keying suddenly stopped Robert Tellefsen wrote: I was working the 7th District QSO Party, and doing fairly well at 5w on both cw and ssb.
