With digital modes, there is no problem of room noise activating the VOX. All the audio is coming from the soundcard.

Yes, VOX per mode would be a great addition to the KX3/K3/K3S firmware.

Don is absolutely right about the usability of the VOX built into the Elecraft rigs. That's what I use now since, since I upgraded my K3 to have the internal sound card.

When I was using a SignaLink, i actually built a cable for the PTT. The reason is that the K3 does not save VOX by mode and I was always getting VOX on when I switched to voice modes. I have too many conversations with others in my shack to be able to use VOX.

Now I'm back to having to remember to switch VOX on and off as I change modes. When I forget I either don't transmit on my first digital transmission, or I do transmit when I talk near the microphone. I'm a really slow learner.

As for the SignaLink VOX, it is generated in the SignaLink from the audio stream.  The KX3, K3/K3S VOX will work just as well as the "PTT" from the SignaLink.  Due to the single channel implementation in the SignaLink, it cannot be used for panadapter applications.
