I must be getting old.  I really don't remember what I was doing in the 11th

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Firmware Suggestions

[Wayne Burdick]

I'll have new field-test KX2 firmware shortly that allows adjustment of all mic 
and VOX menu entries in any mode and whether or not a mic is plugged in.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Firmware Suggestions

[Tom Crayner]

Luke,

I've found that if I have an audio cable plugged in and connected to a
computer, the KX2 thinks there's a mic load and will let you change those
settings... provided you are in SSB.

If in DATA mode it will tell you N/A I seem to recall. So just change modes
to SSB, change the MIC settings in the menu and change back to DATA with
the rig's audio plugged in to your computer's sound inputs and see if that
works.

I set MIC BIAS to off and MIC BTN to off when using the KX2 for data modes
to prevent erroneous PTTs from occurring with the audio cables and sound
card... otherwise I've found the radio can get a bit confused, thinking it
is in PTT, but not going into TX.
