K3 + Yamaha CM500 and VOX

[Pierfrancesco Caci]

Hello,
would someone using the CM500 share his VOX and ANTIVOX settings please?
I can somewhat get vox to work properly when using the phones alone, but
there's no way to get it right if I use spkr+phones (say, if I want
someone to hear what I'm hearing).

Here're my settings:

MIC SEL = RP.L bias
MIC = 12
CMP = 22
VOX GN = 013
ANTIVOX = 008

With these settings, I get a loud feedback whistle if I have the
speakers turned on. Raising antivox doesn't seem to help, lowering vox
gain much below 10 cuts my first syllables.



Thanks

Pf

Pf,

Where do you have the Monitor set?  When using speakers, I believe the
monitor should be set to zero.  Yes, audio feedback will result if the
monitor is turned on and coming out of the speakers - that sound will be
heard y the microphone.

That problem has nothing to do with the VOX or Anti-Vox settings -
different phenomenon.

Ah, good point, I keep monitor around 15-17 usually.
Lowering it below 10 still gives me some useful return of my voice in
the earphones, and I get no whistle unless I put the microphone right in
front of the  external speakers.

Thanks Don!

Vox can get you into trouble.  There is one net where someone has set
his cell phone next to his radio and the noise it causes trips the vox.  
We have also heard all sorts of conversations that probably should not
be on the air  hi!

Footswitch for me
