[Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X Split operation.

[Wes Stewart]

As a point of clarification. When I was having a totally unrelated issue, I 
received a message from an Elecraft support person who stated among other 
things, "Our digital mode set up procedures call for the use of software 
commands to handle TX/RX switching instead of VOX control."

Since abandoning AM using my DX100 where a front panel switch initiated T/R 
switching and some use of a VHF multimode using PTT, like Jim, I've never used 
anything but VOX on any audio mode.
