[Elecraft] K3S, VOX and WSJT-X?

[Frank O'Donnell]

Thanks. After I set mine up the same, when I press Tune or transmit in 
WSJT-X I can see audio going out to the USB Codec output in the Windows 
audio system. However, no sign of any action on the K3S. Besides 
toggling VOX on with the button at the upper left of the K3(s)'s front 
panel, is there anything else you need to set on the rig to make this work?
