[Elecraft] OT - WSJT-X & K3s

[Bill Frantz]

Don is absolutely right about the usability of the VOX built 
into the Elecraft rigs. That's what I use now since, since I 
upgraded my K3 to have the internal sound card.

When I was using a SignaLink, i actually built a cable for the 
PTT. The reason is that the K3 does not save VOX by mode and I 
was always getting VOX on when I switched to voice modes. I have 
too many conversations with others in my shack to be able to use VOX.

Now I'm back to having to remember to switch VOX on and off as I 
change modes. When I forget I either don't transmit on my first 
digital transmission, or I do transmit when I talk near the 
microphone. I'm a really slow learner.
