Transmit dropping out

I'm having a VRC problem that's driving me nuts.

 

I'll go to issue an instruction to an aircraft, and in the middle of my transmission, with the PTT key held firmly down, the transmit light just goes out. I'll quickly re-key and finish the transmission, but it's really affecting my controlling and pilots are complaining.

 

TS is working fine, VRC is working fine in all other aspects. I'm using XP with all patches applied.

 

Any thoughts?

Three immediate guesses:

 

Wireless keyboard? If so, make sure there's no setting on any software that would limit the amount of time it transmits a keypress to the receiver. Also, check batteries.

 

Is sticky keys setting in Windows turned on? Control Panel>Accessibility Options>Keyboard.

 

Other than that...

 

Has it always happened? Does it happen for other keys? Go to notepad and hold down "a" or some other key.

 

How old/new is this keyboard?

Wade,

 

I had the same problem - Basically, to fix it, in VRC, goto "Settings" > "Audio Devices" and change "Microphone Input Device" to DirectSound. Headset Outpout and Speaker Output Device to "Wave".

 

That should do the trick
