Make sure you are using only one PTT method. CAT or VOX but never both. I prefer CAT as any signal or any noise on the audio line will trip the VOX and thus hold it in transmit. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 21, 2018, at 11:04 AM, Bill Frantz wrote: > > I indeed had MIC BTN

I indeed had MIC BTN on, and turned it off. I the KX3 still didn't go into receive when I pressed the "Halt Tx" button. (MIC BIAS was already off.) Another issue I didn't mention before seems to have gotten worse. Sometimes pressing the "XMIT" button on the KX3 doesn't take it out of

It is not disabled automatically in Data A mode. I have looked and if I don’t set it purposefully it will remain at the last setting per band. I have macros that I use to toggle between voice operation and digital modes. I set the mic bias and mic btn menu items accordingly. Happy to proven

I think the mic bias is automatically disabled in DATA A mode. But I might be wrong. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Oct 20, 2018, at 4:54 PM, Nr4c wrote: > > MIC BIAS should be OFF unless you are using a mic that requires it. Bias has >

Yes, use only method for PTT.   Either CAT or VOX,  but never both.   I prefer CAT as, for digital operation,  I don't have to mess with the VOX values for my normal SSB operation. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 10/20/2018 6:52 PM, Nr4c wrote: Sounds like you have more than one PTT control active. Check

Turning the MIC BTN off fixed the problem. Now Halt Tx stops the KX3 as well. Should MIC BIAS be off as well? 73 Robert K7RNA > On 2018 Oct, 20, at 3:26 PM, Robert Albano wrote: > > I have the same behavior: > KX3 > PX3 > SignaLink > MacBook Pro > CAT interface > >> On 2018 Oct, 20, at 2:21

I have noticed an significant difference between the way my K3 and KX3 work with wsjt-x. On the K3, the "Halt Tx" button immediately stops transmission on the radio. With the KX3, the radio remains in transmit mode, although the computer has stopped sending audio. I have to press the "XMIT"
