[Elecraft] Use of K3 voice keyer

[Gary Hinson]

Hi George.

Sounds to me like you are using VOX, and it is too sensitive.  Try turning
VOX off (e.g. press a PTT footswitch when you want to transmit live audio -
the voice keyer automagically asserts PTT when triggered for the duration of
the message) or at least turning down the VOX sensitivity.
