[Elecraft] KX3 VOX delay with Noise Gate question

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

I would not say that it is not recommended, but yes, it can interact 
with other VOX controls and a happy medium can be difficult to find.
It sounds like you had the noise gate set to a high threshold.  See the 
TX GATE menu entry in the manual, which states "Set the threshold high 
enough to cut off transmit audio due to local noise, but not so high 
that it causes your voice to drop out too frequently."

73,

I eventually found that I had the Noise gate on as it was useful to cut out fan noise in gaps of speech. Turning off the noise gate allowed me to set the delay I wanted on the VOX.
