CLOSURE I appreciate all of your thoughts.
And the "thinking" questions, helped to understand what I was trying to do better. I believe your understanding the "problem" better than I do. I'm Good. VOX terrifies me, it can really mess up a net if left on accidently and the phone rings, we had to move the whole net once when someone's "mom" called. I believe a software fix would make this for reaily available, and VOX a safer feature. I have been working on this for a year, I already have all kinds of "gizmos" connected to the K3. With the help of Elecraft support (Keith) and other suggestions also. The Plan is: Jumper ACC Pin 7 TX INH through a SPDT switch to Pin 4 PTT IN (common with RCA PTT IN) already connected to Pedal. Switching ACC Pin 7 to Ground will "undo" the TX INH. Set Configure TX INH = HI I'm going to work through an E980190 Extra DB15 Y- Cable ($9.95) (August 2014) See page; http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_prod_list.htm#kpa500 I need to continue to use the Band Output Data for the Switch It just seems such an easy software fix would ad a useful feature. This works also. You are all great, I hope this idea, fix, work around is easy to find in the email reflector archive for the next guy. Thank you. JJ &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& AGAIN IN A NUTSHELL I wish to manually key the transmitter with VOX, and while transmitting have the VOX activate to LISTEN between words so that I can hear if I double. I don't want VOX on all the time to key the transmitter when I sneeze, someone talks to me, I murmur, phone rings, wife pours hot soup in my lap, etc. WHY? 1>To avoid accidentally transmitting while listening; I want to control transmit (VOX) by pushing my foot pedal turn VOX on. A net control/relay has to do 2+ things already, read the list, flip pages, mark response, record traffic by destination and call sign, etc. Or to type on a keyboard (I'm a 2 handed typist). Pushing the VOX button on/off each time with my little toe is very awkward. 2>While transmitting (as net control) I wish the VOX to be active so that I can take advantage of VOX {to listen between words}. VOX when talking switches to listen during the brief pause between words, and as you breath the amp switches in milliseconds. You can hear very easily any station that you double with. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Using-Mike-Key-PTT-to-Transmit-with-VOX-tp7592108p7592164.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
