[Nr4c]

MIC BIAS should be OFF unless you are using a mic that requires it. Bias has NO other use.

With the KX3, the radio remains in transmit mode, although the computer has stopped sending audio. I have to press the "XMIT" button on the radio to get it back to receive mode. It is as if the CAT command to take the radio out of transmit mode isn't being sent or is not being processed by the radio.
