Jim,
Two possible fixes:
1) Use PTT via CAT command - most digital applications provide for it.
2) Check that your audio levels are sufficient - for the Elecraft gear,
you should have 4 bars of ALC solid with the 5th one blinking. See the
full explanation on my website www.w3fpr.com.

David -
I’ve played with the VOX Gain to no avail - at zero the rig never transmits,
and at 100 (where it has been sitting) I get the delay. Various settings in
between have no effect. The Delay controls how quickly the rig goes back into
receive mode after speaking. But, thanks for the hints!

I know nothing about operating in the digital modes but wonder if the delays
might be changed with Vox Gain and Delay settings.
Good luck!

Hi Folks,
Wondering if someone on the list might be able to solve this one. I’m using a
K3 and while CW is my main passion, I do dabble in FT8 occasionally. I’ve
noticed that the radio does not start transmitting right at the start of the 15
second FT8 cycle. It will start anywhere from 2 - 5 seconds into the cycle. I
can’t help but think that is not a good thing and could be the cause of an
occasional missed QSO. I DO make QSOs but this kinda bothers me. The audio
signals are delayed this amount of time, as is the red TX light coming on - I
am using VOX . Same thing happens when I press the TUNE button - it takes
anywhere from 2-5 seconds for the rig to go into transmit mode.
I really doubt it is due to computer overload, as the only applications running
are WSJT-X, MacLoggerDX (my logging program), and JT-Bridge - all other
applications have been ended. Since this happens when I press TUNE, that pretty
much eliminates JT-Bridge and MacLoggerDX as the cause. Some hardware and
software specifics:
Mac mini, 32 GB RAM, 3GHz processor, 6 cores, Intel Core i5.
Mac OS Big Sur 11.5
WSJT-X 2.4.0
Audio Interface: Tascam US-125M external USB device
Values in the DT column are consistently about 0.1 - 0.4
Wasn’t sure if I should post this here or on the WSJT-X list, but I thought I’d
start here. Any ideas?
