[Elecraft] Re: Transmit when switching from DATA to AM mode?

[Ken K3IU]

Aha!

I just unplugged the Heil/Elecraft headset from the back panel and now I 
can not make it happen at any VOX GN setting. Don't know why I didn't 
try that before. I also checked with the mic connected to the FP and the 
temporary switching to transmit does happen in that configuration (after 
I changed to MAIN:MIC SEL to FP.L bIAS) So... the problem doesn't exist 
here without a mic plugged into the K3. With the mic to the FP, it takes 
a VOX GAIN>5 to cause the momentary transmit.
