[Elecraft] K3S, VOX and WSJT-X?

[Barry]

Frank,
     Do use the K3 description on the radio page. This will allow the 
software to change the radio frequency as you change bands and modes. 
Once, you are on the band, frequency is a matter of the tone that is 
generated. And, VOX does the rest. Pretty straight forward. It all 
becomes really clear after your 3rd or so contact. :-) Have fun.

73,
Barry
K3NDM

I just set the line in to 20 and adjust the power slider in WSJT-X to get the 4 bars with 5th flickering on the K3s's ALC readout. Nothing fancy! One caution: watch your PA temperature. It will definitely rise.

Could anyone who is using VOX for WSJT-X with a K3/K3S tell me how they have the Settings > Radio pane in WSJT-X configured? I can probably stumble my way through, but some pointers would undoubtedly make faster progress.
