Maybe you have the mic gain menu item set high? It should be low with a typical electret mic like the CM-500.

When I enter http://www.ehow.com/computers/how_5232755_delete-clear-ports-use.html <http://www.ehow.com/computers/>I get redirected to http://www.ehow.com/computers/ . I'm trying to set up VOX so random low level noise in the room doesn't trigger it. I'm using a Yamaha CM500 headset, and even breathing close to it triggers VOX. If I'm working AFSK, and the phones are on the upper shelf om my desk, the keyboard triggers it. VOX gain is 9, antiVOX is 74. Have I just not gone far enough with one or both these settings? Anything else affect it? 73, Mike NF4L ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
