    Hi Tim,
    Hopefully above VOX issue will be fixed in the next SW release.
    I would assume that issue is not isolated to me me only.

    Here is another find during ARRL DX SSB contest.
    Please see video and let me know if is this something I am doing wrong, is it VOX issue related to above, is it known issue and you are working on it or is it a new issue that no one reported yet.

    Radio 6600 with Ver 3.1.8

    You have DAX and VOX enabled at the same time which is exacerbating the VOX issue that I mentioned above.

    I'm a new 6600 user and always used VOX on my Yaesu 2000 and 5000 with no issues. This weekend during the CQWW SSB I plugged in my RadioSport headphones and all was well for a couple of hours. Then intermittent drops in transmission started occurring. I tried to adjust the levels and delays but it only got worse. I had to switch to a hand switch (thank goodness I had one in my junk box) and was able to complete the contest. However, I have no confidence in VOX at this point and I've used it with no issues for years on my two previous Yaesus with no issues. Apparently this is a known issue and this is a BIG deal for me working contests with really fast exchanges. Also, addressing why delay is set so low, delay has to be set low so the transmitter isn't held on while the other party is already coming back with a quick exchange. It's that fast.

    yes, i used VOX all my life on previous radios without any issue.

    I had to purchase a foot switch for Flex6600 to avoid drops.

    Hopefully next year (???) we will see some update with bug fixes
