[Elecraft] 8T & 8R

[Don Wilhelm]

Bill,

My opinion is showing, but VOX will clip leading syllables no matter what -
and that goes for any transceiver.  It may or may not be important - not
much intelligibility will be lost in most instances, but the use of VOX
leads to operating practices on SSB that contain phrases like: "Ahhh - I am
...." - I prefer using PTT.
