[Elecraft] VOX/PTT select macro ?

That may work, but why?

The radio offers VOX on those modes, why shouldn't it be used. The radio should 
conform to the user's needs, not the other way around.

I would like to see implemented, what I thought I was promised to me about a 
year ago, VOX gain remembered by mode.
