First-time VOX test: It works!

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

To those of you SSB ops who won't use VOX because every implementation of it you've ever used basically sucked -- Try the K3! I just set it up using my Heil Pro-Set for the first time, and it works just as you think it should. Very smooth, no dropped syllables, no falsing -- amazing. It feels effortless, like the K3's QSK on CW. This is by far the best VOX I have ever tried.

DSP based VOX is very cool. :-)  We can do some interesting things to
avoid dropped first syllables.

Is that "do" do or "can" do ?

'Do' as in 'already do'.. ;-)
Our current DSL firmware is designed to provide an extremely fast VOX
that does not drop much, if any, of the first syllable.

Let me guess.  Put the audio stream in a short delay line and offset the initiation by the amount of time it takes the audio detection to trigger...so no audio is lost (other than a slight delay undetectable to the ear).  Slick!

Nice! It´s years and years since I´ve used a VOX that worked
correct.

Sure looking forward to receive my K3. Too bad I have to wait
another while, oh well there are plenty other things to do but radio.

A little bit of DSP delay works wonders :-)
