Having solved the need for getting +Ve Tx Inhibit working on my KX3/10GHz Transverter integration using a MOSFET switch to invert the logic level coming from the 10GHz transverter and configured the KX3 for 0v Tx Inhibit, I had the opportunity to test it out yesterday afternoon.
The solution seemed to work fine on SSB but I now have a weird issue when using the rig on CW. If I manually select transmit with the microphone PTT (didn’t try the XMIT key) and then wait for the transverter sequencing to remove Tx Inhibit and then key CW with the paddles, the system works as desired. If I key the system using CW VOX, the Tx Inhibit functions correctly, fully disabling the transmitter from producing RF until TxInhibit is removed by the transverter’s sequencing logic BUT then the CW sidetone becomes permanently on from the moment TXInh disappears, regardless of whether I am keying or not. It stays present until I press any of the buttons on the KX3. This happens regardless of which band is enabled, but occurs whenever TxInhibit is initially present. If I remove the TXInh fro the ACC2 GPIO input (but leave the option enabled in the KX3 config) the rig operates normally under VOX control. Can anyone else replicate this oddball behavior? It seems to be a firmware bug. I have tried removing power from the KX3 but that does not correct the anomalous behavior. Again, all works just fine if I don’t try to key the paddles before PTT sequencing has changed over.
