A cough switch sounds like a great idea, but a bit low tech. K3 users
are mostly familiar with the Tx Gate function that blocks audio below a
threshold level to reduce background noise. Would it not be possible to
recognise audio input above a certain pre-settable level and have that

This isn’t a bad idea. It’s the primary reason I normally don’t use VOX —
especially with a headset mic, when you can’t turn away from the microphone for
a cough, sneeze, or worse. With a headset, I most always use a handheld PTT
switch or foot switch.

Yes, and the 0.1 mA was with the rig in transmit due to the ammeter across
the contacts. ;-) If it doesn't come close to these values look for a
corroded jack or an open connection on the jack.

That is fantastic! Can it be added to K3? I would love this feature.

Hi Eric,
My PTT jack has 4.9 volts when unkeyed.
This is certainly a mysterious problem... If your microphone PTT
works then the electronics in your K3 is working properly.
As far as I know the microphone PTT and PTT jack on the rear of the
K3 are connected together! In a pinch it woul
Are you certain you have connected to the PTT IN jack. If you just felt
your way behind the K3, you could have plugged into the KEY OUT jack
instead.
Make Jim's check on the voltage at the other end of an RCA cable, but as
an extra step, short that RCA cable and see if it lights the red TX LE

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. K6MKF also suggested that. The shorted RCA
jumper placed in the PTT IN jack also does not key the K3, so it is
looking like it is something under the hood of the K3.
Thanks again,

I use a donated Heil FS-3 foot switch plugged into PTT IN and it works

Try plugging a short circuit RCA plug into the K3 and checking if it
keys or not. The only other RCA socket in that line is KEY OUT to the

No, one would still need the RJ45 cable to connect to the ARI-500.
However *if one had the necessary documentation*, it should take

You don't hear VFOs, you hear receivers.
When the subRX is off, the only receiver you can hear is the main receiver.
The main receiver's frequency is always controlled by VFO A, so with the
