Yes, some things like unconditionally turning VOX ON or OFF are impossible
to do in simple K3 macros.  It seems like getting VX0; and VX1; implemented
as SET commands would be the right way to go, though it may be more
difficult to implement than one would assume.

You may not need it.  The K3 automatically remembers the last state of VOX
or PTT for each mode.  So, once you turn VOX ON for CW, VOX OFF for SSB and
DATA, simply switching to these modes with the MDn; command will
automatically turn VOX on or OFF (exception:  VOX ON is ignored for some
digital modes like FSK D).
