[Elecraft] KX3 won’t unkey properly

[Jose Campione]

A problem similar to the one detected by Dan Sherwood with the K3 some
months ago (see his posting of Jul 13, 2014) is now resurfacing with the
KX3:

When operating a digital mode, with the rig in USB or Data, when the
transmission ceases (i.e. the KX3 no longer transmits any signal) the TX
light on the rig remains on and the unit remains in idle. I then have to
manually touch on XMIT to return the rig to receive.

I am using Flrig v. 3.22.5, the computer is a MacBook Pro Retina running
OSX Yosemite 10.10.2. the KX3 is updated to the last firmware version and
the Signalik USB uses the SLMODKX3 module and proper cables and
connections. I have tried differents settings for the JP2, JP3 and JP4
jumpers in the Signalink USB but to no avail. The settings of the MIC BIAS
and MIC BTN in the KX3 menu also do not improve on this.

Any suggestion is more than welcome.
