[Elecraft] Vox and PSK31

[Brian Alsop]

Simplier solution.  Costs nothing
Go to SOUND in the Windows configuration.  Create a file with all sounds 
turned off.  Save it.  Use it when operating PSK.

You might like the silence so much, you'll use this file all the time.
Personally,  I really dislike any sound intrusions from Windows ever.
