[Elecraft] K3--Keying suddenly stopped

[Robert Tellefsen]

Yes, that was it, Vic.
Apparently when I toggled the mode switch between ssb and cw
I must have also dropped the VOX selection.
I think this is an unfortunate control arrangement.  I'd rather see a
menu selection for this if it is necessary and get it off the button
where it can be changed by accident.
Thanks and 73
