[Elecraft] KX3 / FLDIGI Question

[James Bennett]

Brian -

I killed it after 15 seconds, so I assume it would’ve stayed in Xmit mode forever. This just started happening a few days ago; prior to that it was fine and I had made a bunch of QSOs in PSK31. Sure don’t know what has made it start acting this way. Arrghhh….

Jim

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.
