    Why repeat it? I have had quite a few trx and never had a problem with VOX, other than with my Flex. And why shouldnt VOX work regardless of which microfon I'm using?

    Johan, I believe Steven may be asking because, one thing that works really well on a Flex is the VOX. The trouble your having is not very common. As i said, I have never had a dropout over the years. It seems that a setting or a problem with the mic is causing it. I am only saying this because your problem is not wide spread among users. Play with the sensitivity slider to find the best spot for that mic.

    I think they send 6e cables with the radio.

    Johan, I didn't realize you were on V3. I don't know if the VOX problem is V3 related. Guess that is why I have never had a problem with it, I am not on V3.

    Now that you changed the subject to Auto Save Profiles. The last update from Flex is that they are planning to keep it but change the way that it works. There are some very good reasons for Flex to keep it business wise. I believe changes are in the works.

    Ken,
    Thank you for reply.
    I do not ever use settings 0, it was a way to reproduce the issue.

    I found that around 10 I am getting less drops an reasonable VOX response time, but TX drops still happening and completely unpredictable. With 20+ delay I am getting about 0.5 seconds delay or more than unacceptable for a quick exchange.

    My findings is that Delay slider closer to 0 make drops more often. I use 12, that typically gives a good response time.

    Question: What Delay scale of 100 is represents?
    It is not milliseconds, as when I set full scale of 100 I am getting response delay for about 3 seconds. So, when I set 10 or 20 how do I know what this slider means in msec or sec?

    If you have a good reliable way to configure VOX to prevent the drops please let me know.

    I assume that Bug recorded because Flex was able reproduce this issue and placed it to development/fix. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Thanks
    Sergey, KN7K

    I have the same problem as Sergey. I am using a Heil PR-781 mic that I purchased with my Flex 6500. Random, spurious drop outs that cause the radio to be unusable with Vox.

    If I get my mouth within an inch of the mic it seems to work OK. I turned off the downward expander. Seemed to help some.
