[Elecraft] K3 doesn't work in AFSK-A mode but DATA-A does work. What's broken?

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

It is not necessary to use VOX if the TX command is configured correctly 
in MMTTY.    I run MMTTY direct and do not use N1MM+ or other 
applications.    The reason for me NOT using VOX is that I use VOX for 
other operations and don't like having to change the VOX settings for 
MMTTY.   Of course if one doesn't use VOX for SSB then set the values 
for MMTTY and carry on.
