[Elecraft] K3 Firmware loading errors with VOX on

[Tony Fegan VE3QF]

Hi K3 Firmware/software support gurus,

	I upgraded from firmware version 2.34 to 2.38. I had left the VOX on 
and sometime during the load I put my coffee cup down on the operating 
table and the VOX tripped. The firmware load continued with no error 
message. I assumed (I know!) that all was OK until I got on a local 10M 
net and was told that I was transmitting 100Hz high but audio was good. 
I later found that receive on 20M was 100Hz high but transmit was OK. 
That is all I checked before remembering the VOX trip during firmware 
load. I reloaded the firmware with VOX off and all seems well.

	I thought that I should do a test to try and repeat the error. It seems 
that VOX is only active during the FPF part of the load and it is easy 
to make it fail but I always get an error message.

	It may be the cause of some odd problems. Maybe it is possible to kill 
VOX during FPF load as happens during MCU and DSP load.

	Hope this helps somebody
