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.

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

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

Happy to proven
I think the mic bias is automatically disabled in DATA A mode. But I might be
wrong.

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.

I'm coming late to this party (thread), but I want to object to the

There are two ways to pay for development. Either you charge for
enhancements to old products, or you come out with new ones. I once

I use both the K3 and KX3 for various digital modes.
I have both connected to a Signalink USB.
They both work very well for digital using the Signalink USB.

You will not be running digital modes with 12W on the KX3. It is rated for 5W

For modes that require extreme frequency stability (e.g.
