[K3] Option to have VOX band independent

[N7US]

Unless I'm missing something, the state of the K3 VOX as on or off is
retained when changing bands.  My preference would be to be able to set it
independent of band with a menu or config setting.

I always use it and sometimes QSK for CW, always use it for SSB, and it's
irrelevant on FSK.   (I don't use AFSK or PSK.)  I switch it off when just
listening on SSB so I don't accidentally trip it.  That behavior is the same
regardless of band.

I sometimes use a macro in DXLab's Commander to turn VOX on and off, since
it's quicker than press and hold on the K3 Band switch.   I also like to
minimize wear and tear on a button/switch.  Nonetheless, it would still be
more convenient for me to have the equivalent of an old fashioned on/off
switch.

Jim -

I've asked before for it to be mode dependent. It's on the
list................somewhere :-D
I use it for everything except phone, I prefer a foot switch there.
