[Elecraft] HELP!!!

[John Pitz]

Mine does that as well.  I have found two solutions.  The first and
easiest is to turn off the mic button.  In the menu settings MIC BTN
change from UP.dn to off, then turn on VOX, just to the left of VFO A
tuning knob.  The other solution which is a little more elegant is to
tell your JT65 software to use CAT control as the PTT method.  I use
WSJT-X on Linux, the setting is in File->Settings, then click on the
radio tab.  Under RIG select Elecraft K3/KX3, then whatever serial port
you are using, then your baud rate-probably gong to be 4800, unless you
are using a KXPA100 then the bauud rate will be 38400 most likely.  On
the right hand side of the window under PTT method select CAT.
