Just discovered your vaurois posts on the web including YouTube videos. I'm a new owner of the kx3 and loving it. I do find it a bit confusing because there seem to be many ways to use hardware and software on digi modes and not sure what's best. I do have an iPad and will follow your advice but you don't mention if you have the radio in USB mode or Psk d mode. Please clarify. Also, when I plug a 3 pole plug into the mic jack it immediately triggers the ptt so how are you avoiding this to allow you to use the radios vox function or ptt through the mic jack? I'd appreciate your suggestions.Tnx73Rick, w2 Jaz
