[Elecraft] Hot Mic when VOX selected

[Chris Hallinan]

Greetings,

I wired my spare Yaesu MD-100 desk mic to my K3 - getting good audio
reports.  A very nice desk mic.

However, the way this mic is wired, PTT does not break the mic circuit, so
it's always hot, regardless of position of PTT switch.  My old Shure 444
routed the mic circuit through a pair of contacts on the PTT switch, which
was convenient.  A switch on the bottom opened PTT to enable VOX.

Setting the VOX gain to a suitable level leaves the mic quite sensitive to
false transmits from random desk noises, etc.

Is there a firmware setting or equivalent that will disable K3 VOX when the
PTT circuit is open, and enable VOX when PTT is closed?  That would be
quite useful.

73 and best regards,
