[Elecraft] VOX SETTING FOR UPGRADED K-3

Setting up VOX/AntiVOX levels in my K3S is much fussier than my K3. In spite of 
the protestations of the pro audio guy, IMHO, VOX settings should be independent 
of mic gain settings. I realize this isn't the case for either radio, but the K3 
is simply easier to setup.

Likewise setting audio levels for AFSK RTTY operation using the K3S internal USB 
sound card is a PITA.  I've actually considered going back to the computer sound 
card.  I've raised these issues here in the past and once was asked how would I 
like VOX levels remembered by mode.  I thought that would be helpful, but it's 
never happened, despite a promise to bump it "up the list."

There is a great improvement in performance but I now notice that when I set up my Heil Proset (ic) headset for Vox use, I must run the anti-vox a lot higher than I used too (30-35).  I also have noticed that the Vox gain must be at the lowest level.  I use the settings for my tx and rx eqs set to the recommended setting in KE7X, Fred Caddy book and they have worked great in the past.  I need to know if anyone has found the same thing and if there are other recommended setting.  What am I missing here?
