I'm sure Elecraft will have a Noise Gate built into a K3's firmware some day, but a noise gate is a valuable tool

An experimental Downward Expander will be available in the K3 firmware in the near future. It has been undergoing some limited testing already :-)

Further to this, I find using VOX with a short timeout (0.3 sec) provides an "almost" gate, and allows fast voice break in. It also does not generate any distortion of the low-amplitude portions of the transmit audio that a downward expander inherently creates. With the fast attack action of the K3 VOX, such short hold times are practical.

Enjoy!
