[Elecraft] KX3 / FLDIGI Question

[James Bennett]

Got a strange thing happening with my KX3 when I am running FLDIGI, and it just started happening in the past few days. FLDIGI is version 3.22.01.

If I place FLDIGI into transmit mode the KX3 follows and whatever I type is transmitted - cool. However, when I tell FLDIGI to stop transmitting and go back to receive, FLDIGI quits sending audio as it has been instructed and “appears” to go back to receive mode, but the KX3 TX light stays on and I have to press the XMIT button to make it go receive. Not cool.

Furthermore, if I am using WSJT-X, T/R works fine.

Running the KX3 in CW mode works fine - I press and release the key, the rig transmits and then goes back to receive. This obviously has something to do with FLDIGI. But I’m starting here with the Elecraft group in hopes someone has a suggestion.

Any idea what I need to change to make the KX3 obey the FLDIGI command to return to receive mode?

Thanks, Jim / W6JHB
