KX3 Time Out Timer

Maybe I was asleep in class the day this was discussed, but is there a TOT for the KX3 transmitter? Now that I am running my KX3 a lot on WSPR I was thinking that it would be a good idea to have a TOT that would shut down the transmitter if a computer failure should keep the VOX or PTT active for more than 2 minutes. I did look through the Menu items and did a Google search before wasting bandwidth here but I did not find anything.

tnx

WSJT-X has a watchdog. Of course that's only useful if that's what you
are running. :)

This is always a good idea. It should be on all of the radios.. 73 Tom

I am running WSIT-X, but anything on the computer that could activate the VOX, PTT, or CW key line could cause the KX3 to hang in transmit on a variety of modes. I only run 500mw on WSPR so the PA Hi Temp Limit should not be relied on to stop transmission. It would be nice if the KX3 had a TOT to protect itself from any external devices.
