This is a case where "close mic" technique is useful. Headsets with
boom mics or hand-held mics, like the MH3 allow you to use a minimum
setting for mic gain (because one's mouth is close to the mic), and
that permits you a wider adjustment range for TX GATE, since any
offending noise will be that much weaker. In some cases, you many not
need to gate the audio at all.

David,
I would not say that it is not recommended, but yes, it can interact
with other VOX controls and a happy medium can be difficult to find.
It sounds like you had the noise gate set to a high threshold. See
the TX GATE menu entry in the manual, which states "Set the
threshold high enough to cut off transmit audio due to local noise,
but not so high that it causes your voice to drop out too frequently."

I was having problems setting a long enough VOX delay for my
microphone. Even with delay at 2 the maximum it was dropping out
between syllables. I eventually found that I had the Noise gate on
as it was useful to cut out fan noise in gaps of speech. Turning
off the noise gate allowed me to set the delay I wanted on the VOX.
So, is the use of noise gate not recommended with VOX?
