[K3] Intermitent Keying

[David Guernsey]

My K3/10 intermittently goes into xmit without my pushing the PTT.  Operating on 80 meter band (3.952 MHz) LSB.  Any ideas from anybody would be appreciated.

Dave,

Any chance that you have VOX turned on?  That may allow noise to send
the K3 into transmit.  Yes, PTT works even if VOX is selected.

Thanks Don.  I must have accidentally turned the VOX on.  Turned it off and problem went away.  Prior to turning VOX off, I was getting ERR KEY in the VFO B part of the LED display.  Hopefully the VOX was the problem.
