Once you connect to RAFT, then QSY to another frequency and DISCONNECT. This is so that RAFT does not hear you disconnect. Hit "cmd: D" two times to force a disconnect from your TNC. NEXT then QSY back to 145.825 and send your TALK messages. They will work then.
The CONNECT RAFT only turns on the CONNECTED LED and that is what turns on the Voice Module. But you have to be UNCONNECTED to send the TALK message. But if RAFT sees the disconnect, then it will turn off the voice ...
Hope that helps! Bob, WB4APR
