KX3 / FLDIGI Question

Got a strange thing happening with my KX3 when I am running FLDIGI, and it just started happening in the past few days. FLDIGI is version 3.22.01.

If I place FLDIGI into transmit mode the KX3 follows and whatever I type is transmitted - cool. However, when I tell FLDIGI to stop transmitting and go back to receive, FLDIGI quits sending audio as it has been instructed and “appears” to go back to receive mode, but the KX3 TX light stays on and I have to press the XMIT button to make it go receive. Not cool.

Furthermore, if I am using WSJT-X, T/R works fine.

Running the KX3 in CW mode works fine - I press and release the key, the rig transmits and then goes back to receive. This obviously has something to do with FLDIGI. But I’m starting here with the Elecraft group in hopes someone has a suggestion.

Any idea what I need to change to make the KX3 obey the FLDIGI command to return to receive mode?

Thanks, Jim / W6JHB

Re: KX3 / FLDIGI Question

Brian -

I killed it after 15 seconds, so I assume it would’ve stayed in Xmit mode forever. This just started happening a few days ago; prior to that it was fine and I had made a bunch of QSOs in PSK31. Sure don’t know what has made it start acting this way. Arrghhh….

Hi.
I belive this issue has been reported with this version of Fldigi for other
radios as well. Seems to be an bug in Fldigi.

For those interested…..

Got a suggestion from Ron, W7HD that the rig has to have VOX turned off. I had mine turned on. Turned it off and no longer have the TX hang problem. Yippee!!
