Parker,
The K2 VOX does not work well with PSK - by the time the audio is
cranked up enough to trip the VOX reliably, you will be driving the
audio input too hard and the transmitted IMD will suffer. The VOX in
the K2 works OK for voice, but not as well for the more steady audio
tones of soundcard digital modes, so I recommend you stay with the PTT
operation - since you apparently already have that working, I see no
advantage to change.
The K3 VOX OTOH is very smooth and will work quite well for afsk data modes.
73,

Is there any fundamental reason why I can't use VOX control while running
PSK with my K2? I've never used VOX with this rig on SSB, but I assume it
works okay. I recall much discussion about lack of mic gain not triggering
the VOX, so I'm wondering if that is also limiting what I can do running
digital modes. If so, I'll stick with PTT.
