K3 VOX

I just finished over an hour ragchew session with some locals on 10 meter
SSB using VOX. I have never operated a rig with a VOX that works as smooth
and slick as the one that exists on my K3.

Re: K3 VOX

The cool part is that I can plug my $8 computer headset into the K3,
switch to VOX and sit back in my chair and not touch a thing. My
contacts have stated that my cheap headset does not have quite the sound
quality of my Heil #5, but that it sure is decent enough for a rag chew.
I agree. The VOX sure is smooth.

Dale

Did you modify the vox for sensitivity or frequency range?

73

Hi Dale,

I was using a Heil Headset. I have used the headset with earphones not
plugged in and speaker set for normal listening level and after adjusting
the antivox there was no problem with false trips.
