[Elecraft] K3 And WSJT-X FT8 Timing

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

My concern with using VOX is that the radio has to receive audio before 
it goes into transmit.  Thus one can almost be assured some data will be 
lost.   Hence I find the better PTT choice is CAT with a 0.1 second TX 
delay before audio is sent to the radio from the software.  This is all 
available from the F2 Setup menu in WSJT-X.

Bob, K4TAX
