The major problem with using VOX for digital modes is that often hams forget to turn off Windows Sounds and end up transmitting those sounds on the air. Listen to the data mode sections of the bands and you will hear it. If you are using the internal soundcard, turning off Windows Sounds is the only way to go (or do not use VOX).

If using an external soundcard, make certain that external soundcard is *not* set as the default soundcard for the system (Windows normally sets the most recently added soundcard to be the default) and then tell your digital application to use the external soundcard.
