Problems activating VOX in Data Mode

Hi all

I've got an unusual problem. I'm primarily a CW op, but lately I have been
playing with RTTY and PSK. One thing that I've noticed is that I don't
seem to be able to activate VOX when in Data Mode on 20 meters. This works
fine on every band, but on 20 meters it displays an N/A when I try to
activate it. I'm sure there is something obvious that I'm missing here.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

73, NS0R, Morgan

Morgan,

Is it possible you have FSK-D selected on 20M's and DATA-A on the other
bands?

Morgan,

There are 4 DATA sub-modes - DATA A and AFSK will allow VOX to be turned
on/off. PSK D and FSK D do not use VOX and will show N/A if you try to
turn it on.

The DATA sub-mode is a per band setting.

VOX is active in AFSK-A and DATA-A modes. I've never used anything else
for data modes. The sound card drives the Line Input, and it is usually
necessary to adjust VOX gain and Line Input gain.

Thanks for the help everyone. The problem was that for some reason I had
20 meters set to FSK. I changed it to AFSK and now everything is working
as expected. I really appreciate all the help.
