[Elecraft] K3s can only transmit wsjt if the K3s codec is windows default.

That is why I've begged several times for a firmware change to make VOX gain 
saved per mode.

  I do use VOX on RTTY and SSB and with a lot of fussing with soundcard levels 
have it more-or-less set so all modes use about the same VOX gain.  
Unfortunately, IMHO anyway, I think VOX gain should be independent of mic gain 
but it isn't.

I find that works very well and is mindlessly simple to set up. The only thing you need to know is to remember to turn the VOX function on and make sure you have enough audio going in to satisfy the 4 steady bars with a 5th flickering on the ALC indicator. This approach allow me to switch to differing digital software with little need to do further set ups. I suggest that those who are having problems setting up CAT for their radios give this a try and see how well it works. And BTW: I do use FT8 fairly regularly as well as RTTY and PSK31.
