[Elecraft] VOX/PTT select macro ?

[Jim Brown]

I've never used PTT, either by hand or with a foot switch in my station. 
The only time I've used a foot switch was at a multi-op in a SSB 
contest. VOX works very well for me for all modes, and I'm too poorly 
coordinated to use a foot switch -- it keeps moving away from my foot. :)
