[Elecraft] KX3 #1298 Pro-Set K2 in permanent XMIT

[Mark Raybould]

Hi,

I purchased from Elecraft in 2006 a Pro-Set K2 Heil microphone headset with
3.5mm stereo sound and 3.5mm mono plugs for use with my K2.  Now setting it
up on the KX3.  Mode LSB 7114 kHz, VOX set to PTT.  Sound in the phones
OK.  But connecting the MIC puts the KX3 into transmit mode (Red TX LED
lights up).  XMIT key will key the transmitter on and off.  Following Basic
Voice-Mode Setup, manual page 15, fails at ‘Adjust mic gain level’, CMP and
ALC bar graphs are empty (no vision or movements) as expected as the 3.5mm
mono (mic) is not plugged in as it keys the transmitter.  Keying the
transmitter with the mic plugged in, and increasing the MON value to 12,
deflection of the bars occurs.  No CMP bars at all.  Are there any other
interlocks on the transmit path?  Otherwise I need some guidance.  Many
thanks.
