[Elecraft] kx2 SSB always in TX

[Michael Walker]

Hi All

I have had a kx2 since they first came out and I have chased this problem
since day 1.  But, since I never use it on SSB, I have never worried about
it.  s/n 337

Everything I plug in the MH3 Mic, the radio goes into TX.  I have the
latest firmware on it.

If Menu:MIC BTN is set to OFF, it does not TX with the PTT button on the MIC
If Menu:MIC BTN is set to PTT, the radios into TX as soon as you plug the
MIC in
If Menu:MIC BTN is set to Ptt UP.dn, the radio goes into TX as soon as you
plug the MIC in

VOX is off

Next test was to try the internal MIC.

My testing is in LSB on 40M.

Touching XMIT puts the radio into TX, but the only way out of TX is to hit
the ATU button.  Hitting XMIT again does nothing.  Unfortunately, that
doesn't work either.

I was headed out on a Canoe trip tomorrow and was hoping to use SSB as a
mode while I was in the Great White North.

Any thoughts of the next steps to solve this in a few hours?
