There is no added complexity of PTT using CAT at all. The KX3 (and K2
for that matter) is just triggered by CAT commands, and not VOX.
I've cot CAT control of PTT on my KX3 and K2, and all I had to do was
plug in the K2's serial cable, and the KXUSB for the KX3. Even my IC-718

Yes, you can use VOX on the K3/K3S, KX3 and KX2.
And it works VERY well. The added complexity of PTT is not worth the
trouble.

VFO Scanning should happen only if Scanning is turned on in the menu.
That has nothing to do with the mode selection - scanning can take place
in any mode.
The main reason for using DATA A is that compression is set to zero, the
equalization is set flat, and in the K3/K3S you can set

PTT via CAT command does not require any extra wiring, it uses the
RS-232 control cable to provide the command listed in the K3/KX3
Programmer's Reference to activate Transmit. It works well with the K2,
K3/K3S, KX3 and KX2.
Quite different than using the 'one transistor keying
Kenny, do have the kx3 set for Data A? I have notes from a few years ago
that indicates Data A must be selected or you will get the VFO scanning.
Of course this is in addition to what Don and Walter have advised: mic btn
should be off.

You can use VOX instead of wiring up some sort of PTT or using CAT PTT.

The mic plug is shorting the extra contacts on the mic jack. These are used for
PTT and for Up/Down.
You can disable that in the menus with MIC BTN OFF.
Or, you can use a stereo to mono splitter cable. The mic plug would go into the
right channel. The left can be used for PTT.

Thanks Don, knew it had to be something simple. I changed the mic btn
setting. As soon as this pop-up thunder shower moves out I'll check to be
sure it works.

Kenny,
I have heard of that occurring with a KX3 and just a mic - the VFO
changed with each activation of the mic PTT button.
First, make sure the soundcard cables are fully plugged in (give them a
good push). If that does not cure it, continue below.
As an immediate workaround, first
Trying to set up fldigi with USB sound card. Using the patch cables from
elecraft, when I plug the green cable into the radio mic port and the sound
card headphone port it causes the radio to increase vfo frequency. Is
there something I need to change on radio or in fldigi? Tia
