[Elecraft] K3S, VOX and WSJT-X?

[Frank O'Donnell]

Barry,

Thanks. I was specifically wondering about entries on WSJT-X's Settings 
 > Radio page:

-- At the top of the page, is anything filled in for "Rig"?

-- The lefthand side of the page has the heading "CAT Control," so is 
anything entered here (serial port, baud rate, data/stop bits, DTR/RTS, 
etc)?

-- On the righthand side of the page, I assume "VOX" is selected as PTT 
method. What choices are selected for Mode and for Split Operation?

Thanks again,

Frank
