[Elecraft] CM500 mic keeps cutting out midsentence

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

The owner's manual says "MAIN:VOX GN (VOX gain) should be set to trigger at
normal speech level, but not in response to incidental noise. Start with low
settings (5-10)." 

I didn't write that text. I assumed it was saying to start with low settings
to ensure the VOX would trigger reliably and raise it as needed to avoid
false triggering. 

Maybe a bad assumption :-)

" Zero VOX Gain should mean that *any* sound picked up by the mic should
initiate transmit."  ???

I always thought "zero" meant NO - so you are saying if you turn the VOX
Gain down to zero, you're  going to be able to hear a flea sneeze?

Or did you mis-read what Jeff actually said?
