K3 Vox settings per mode

Brandon673
Is there something I'm missing? I am unable to setup my K3 to use VOX anytime its in digital mode without it changing my SSB modes also over to VOX. I only use VOX for Digital Modes and never use it for SSB/FM/AM. Does anyone else have this issue or know if there is a fix for it? Is this a firmware issue?

Hold down DATA MD and make sure that you are in a AFSK mode.

Re: K3 Vox settings per mode

Ive been using Data A because I do PSK31 and JT65a all via the Data audio ports in the back into my soundcard. So I should be using AFSK mode instead??

That's the way the K3 operates.

There are two mode groups; CW/FSK D/PSK D and SSB/AM/FM/DATA A/AFSK A.
Note the "A" in DATA A and AFSK A ... that indicates "Audio" where the
"D" in FSK D/PSK D indicates "direct" as in direct keying.  VOX applies
to the "Audio" group as a whole.

Re: K3 Vox settings per mode

So no solution? I want VOX to be on no matter what band im on when i select Data Mode. Anytime I change out of Data mode I want VOX to be off. Otherwise when I switch from doing digital modes i occasionally forget to turn VOX off and i go into TX.

I'd have to go check but I'm pretty sure that VOX is remembered per
band/per mode so you just have to set it that way and it should remember
it.

You seem to be right.  The VOX state is also not retained when programming memories.  Quite strange.

Also check your VOX  level in the menu.  It needs to be turned up very
high when using it for digital modes.  You are correct to use DataA for
PSK and other audio based digital  modes.  AFSK can be used for RTTY and
gives you the advantage of using the dual peak filters.  Other than that
there's no difference between AFSK and DataA.

AFSK also sets the dial display to the currently selected MARK frequency
rather than DATA A's suppressed carrier frequency.

In general, if you are using a waterfall mode, use DATA A.

Please put mode dependent VOX on the 'wish list'.
