No need for VOX, just use software PTT.

I had a K3 in service (now a spare) for about 8 years before getting a K3S. 
I
didn't do WSJT but some RTTY and PSK using the Line In/Out into my Lenovo 
laptop
internal sound card.  Worked like a champ, started with zero and now have 
255
countries on RTTY.

I tried to use the K3S USB sound and got tired of the incessant need to fuss
with drive and VOX levels.  I requested many times for firmware that would 
save
VOX settings by mode to no avail. (When I had another issue, Elecraft 
Support
actually told me that they didn't recommend VOX on digital modes.)

I've returned to using the analog audio in/out of the radio and the laptop 
sound
card, which is higher quality anyway.  (I have a TASCAM US-100, highly
recommended by the resident audio guru, but haven't found it to be any
advantage.)  This also makes it easier to resort to the spare radio when 
necessary.
