The "magic" is to check carefully to find ALL ways in which you have setup for PTT. This is a common problem and I'll bet you at least two PTT options set. The software turns one off and stops sending data. But the other is controlled by something else and didn't "get the memo". Sent from

Jim, I assume you have the KX2 (not the K2X). For proper operation, you must have an indication on the ALC meter. 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing. If you do not achieve that condition, the power output will be erratic. Note well, that is the "NO ALC" point for the KX2, KX3, K3 and

Don, Thanks. Gave up and used Vox. Can't see any ALC limiting, but can hear outgoing signal on another radio. Still tweaking and haven't had first QSO yet, but hope springs always! 73, Jim N3SZ On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 3:11 PM Don Wilhelm wrote: > Jim, > > Are you using

Jim, Are you using PTT and VOX both? If so, try only one. With HRD, you can set PTT via command (no physical connection to the hardware PTT line). That has always worked well for me, but I have not tried it with the KX2. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/2/2017 2:26 PM, Jim Sr Sturges wrote: First

First post. Connecting KX2 to HRD on Surface Pro 3 using provided ACC-USB cable, and audio via cables to a USB sound dongle. PSK-31 using USB mode on 20M: Receive works great. When I transmit, TX light comes on, data is sent, but TX light stays on even though transmit power drops to zero. Would
