[Elecraft] VOX on KX, using a Heil headset Questions

[Carter Craigie]

Thanks so much for the help setting up my KX2 to use VOX.
Here are the the settings I finally settled on:

VOX GN: 60
VOX MD: ON
VOX DLY: 0.02
MIC BIAS: OFF
MIC BTN: OFF

I think had tried these settings before, but this last time they worked, and the VOX icon showed on my screen.

Thanks everyone!
