Nice theory, but it's not true (as far as I can see). "SSB +CW"
happens (i.e. makes RF out) for me, even if VOX is off in both modes.
If VOX is off in CW mode, I get full QSK in SSB mode. If VOX (but not
QSK) is on in CW mode, I get semi-QSK in SSB mode. The SSB VOX setting
doesn't make any difference.

It kinda seems like a bug that CW makes RF in SSB mode when VOX is off
in CW mode....
