Re: [Elecraft] K3 Disabling VOX on CW.

It is the logical or of all keying signals (key in, keyer out, PTT input, VOX and Tune). 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Disabling VOX on CW.
Holding the VOX button toggles vox. Is that what you mean? I'm guessing you must mean something else. 73, Ted, W2ZK On 7/7/2010 4:53 PM, G0AFH wrote: Hi I would like to disable VOX in CW mode so that when I touch the key the rig does not go into transmit.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Disabling VOX on CW.
You can also disable VOX on power-up by going to the CW WGHT menu option and tapping 4. See the CW WGHT menu item in the K3 manual. 73, Ted, W2ZK On 7/7/2010 4:53 PM, G0AFH wrote: Hi I would like to disable VOX in CW mode so that when I touch the key the rig does not go into transmit.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Disabling VOX on CW.
Hi Gary! Ok, the penny has dropped. That sounds exactly like what is happening here. I didn't notice the absence of RF but the PTT line is certainly being keyed even with VOX off. Once I've confirmed the absence of RF I'll sleep better! 73 Ian.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Disabling VOX on CW.
Ian, I can confirm that there is no RF. The Firmware Field Test group brought this up in Feb '09. At that time Wayne said he would look at a mechanism to activate only sidetone, but not KEYOUT, but he did say that it would be quite involved to change it - it is therefore very low on the list, so you will just have to listen to the relays in the amp chatter for the time being (maybe for a lengthy time). 73, Don W3FPR G0AFH wrote: Hi Gary!
