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. 73,

Update to the latest WSJTX and hamlib. The problem is due to a timing issue in the older versions of hamlib not allowing WSJTX to begin audio until it receives certain CAT responses from the K3/K3s. Older versions of hamlib were doing too many (unnecessary) CAT commands. 73, ... Joe,

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!

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
