[Elecraft] K3 Keyer to use with Tascam interface

[Bill Frantz]

I'm in Carl's situation. I solved my problem with the SignaLink 
USB by using its VOX to key the K3. With a Tascam USB US-122MKII 
arriving from Emory, I'll have the problem again.

The one VOX setting for SSB and Data is particularly annoying 
with my style of operating. I am a search and pounce operator at 
heart. I scan a band looking for interesting signals. If I see 
one, I try for the contact. This style means I'm always 
switching between SSB, CW, Data A, and AFSK A. Sometimes I even 
includes AM. I haven't use FM in the rotation, because 10M is a 
big band and I'm not yet very active on 6M.

Please Elecraft, separate the VOX settings for SSB and Data. I 
would be very surprised is anyone complained, and a number of us 
will be quite gratified.
