I am asking for feedback from SSB operators on VOX operation on the K2.
a) Do you use VOX ?
b) If not, why not ?
Yes, I use the K2 VOX. There are a couple of reasons. First, VOX is
much better in contests, where I frequently operate Phone. Second,
although I have a footswitch, I'm now using an SO2R box, as well as a
one-message voice keyer. Because of the cabling of each, I can't use
the footswitch, so I'm forced to use VOX.
I find the K2 VOX has some limitations. I've replaced R14 on the SSB
board with a 3.9k resistor in order to get a bit more responsiveness
out of it. The lack of anti-VOX doesn't hurt too bad. It could really
use a VOX gain adjustment, however.
During contests, I've often encountered a situation where the K2 just
goes completely deaf to VOX. My voice keyer will drop out, even though
I can trigger the rig by shouting into the mike. Since I've changed
R14, this happens less often.
