[Elecraft] K4 TX Problems

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Will,

Make sure you're not in TX Test mode, and also make sure MENU:TX Inhibit Mode is set to OFF.

Please contact me directly if you continue to have issues.

I also tried a straight key in the Key jack and the same issue presents itself. I also ensured VOX is on. Even if I manually activate transmit there is nothing transmitted. It has me thinking the Jack’s may not be turned on.

I checked and the front panel microphone is enabled in the settings. I have a CM500 plugged in to the rear of the radio and it does work when switched to rear input.
