(Elecraft) K2 - VOX - Straw Poll

Stewart,
I seldom use VOX because of a slight delay in initial response which
results in missed words at the start of transmission. I have the latest
firmware which is designed to help this problem, still not fast enough.
I also do not use VOX when using my Kenwood TS-850S/AT, just don't like it.

Bob, VE3XM

There seems to be room for a buffering speech processor that triggers
the vox when it is sure you are speaking and plays back the preceeding
hundred milliseconds, to avoid clipping the first syllable. For extrra
credit, resample and speed up to avoid moving the delay to the end.

When the subject of vox comes up, I always think of that great moment in
history when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and said,
"That's one small step for a man, one ... iant leap for mankind."

Except that's not exactly what he said. It's what he was supposed to say, but
he actually said:

"That's one small step for man, one ... iant leap for mankind."

And Jim, actually what he meant to say was, "That's one small step for *a* man,..." but either he didn't say the "a" or it didn't come out on the audio. Perhaps VOX chopped it off. I don't know. :^) But with that little word "a" in there, the sentence finally makes sense.

Just to comment on the VOX question... as discussed in great detail on the Ten Tec reflector this week, the vast majority of folks preferred QSK operation on CW. It is interesting that the vast majority also dislikes using VOX, which is kind of the QSK of SSB when you think about it. That's interesting.

RE: (Elecraft) K2 - VOX - Straw Poll

I think it's fascinating! Every time this subject comes up, we are off
again. At the time, there must have been a thousand column inches about it
in the papers and hundreds of hours on the various radio and TV shows, not
to mention endless magazine articles!

What occurred to me as I first heard that controversy erupt lo' these many
years ago after watching that amazing, fuzzy, blurred video from the Moon on
that warm June evening in California, was that if it has been me as the
first Human being stepping onto the surface of the moon, I'd have been
amazed if I could have uttered anything coherent at all.

BTW, the VOX on my K2 doesn't work at all!! No matter how loud I scream,
nothing happens. (Maybe that's because I always work CW).
