[Elecraft] KX3 sidetone bug when recording memories

[Wayne Burdick]

So noted, Sven. Thanks.

There's no need to disable VOX when recording CW messages, by the way. In record mode, transmit is disabled. The usual reason for disabling VOX is to do code practice, and in this case I'd avoid practicing "..--" (IM).
