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

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. What firmware level are you at? regards, Brian VE3IBW On Thu, May 25, 2017 at 8:16 PM, Leo Aniol

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

Don, thanks for the suggestion; it seems somehow I got VOX turned on when it was off before... Mystery solved. Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV On 5/25/17 17:27, Don Wilhelm donw...@embarqmail.com [KX3] wrote: Dave, Are you using VOX? If so, try replacing the cable between the soundcard and the

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
