[Elecraft] VOX/PTT select macro ?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Yes, I see now that VOX mode is remembered on CW, and separately on AFSK,
SSB, AM, FM etc.

The best alternative for now (short of Wayne adding VXn SET commands), is
to avoid VOX mode except on CW.  Configure digital software to generate
PTT, and use a foot switch on phone.  Most digital programs support either
software PTT (TX; and RX; commands sent before / after every message) or
PTT via the RTS pin on a serial port.
