[Elecraft] K3: using vox as PTT for digital modes

[Dave G4AON]

I second that Brett, DM780 (via the standard serial lead) and MMTTY 
(with the addition of a switching transistor as per their help files) 
both key the K3 just fine without needing VOX and it's inherent issues 
with beeps and squeaks from Windows.

more than ample and will prevent many others from sending many windows
sounds over the air. Most software will key a rig over CAT commands and
this is the way this should be done.
