Your experience is unusual. In about 11 years, the only thing that has 
ever gone wrong with my CM500s have been a broken cable, which, 
unfortunately, is not replaceable. I'm kind of a klutz, so I'm hard on 
cables, dropping them, kicking them, etc. Perhaps it got broken in 
shipping?

I've never used anything but VOX for SSB and digital modes. That's 
always worked just fine as long as there's not loud noise (like when the 
XYL walks through the shack and lets the screen door slam). :)
