[Elecraft] VX commands don't work

[Kidder, George]

Well, now, I am both confused and eating crow!  Now it is working as 
expected.  I have no idea what I was doing wrong before.  Both the VOX 
function and the indicator are now going on with VX1;.

Talk of a tempest in a teapot!

73 and thanks - George
