Re: [Elecraft] Locking VOX ? (low S/N K3)

That did it Ken ! Nice !!!

 

I did see the tag "cw weight" on both the rig and in the paper manual, but
as I knew the rig came from a CW man, I didn't mess with it, nor did I look
closely at all the options.

 

Appreciate it. Thank you.

Config -> CW WGHT -> Tap the “4” button. It’s probably set at ‘auto off’ now, 
you want ‘nor’.

Subject: [Elecraft] Locking VOX ? (low S/N K3)

Hey Guys n' Gals,



Is there some way to lock the VOX, so the next time I turn the rig on, that
if I am on CW, the VOX is on by default?

Yesterday I spent I don't know how long sounding like a lid, calling
stations in the CQ-M contest until I finally heard "QLF" when I called AA3B
about 5 times.  He tried, I give him that, but after a while he could not
decode my gibberish.



I thought..hmmm, my CW isn't that bad.



I listened on another radio and yup, it sounded REALLY bad, skipping dits
and dahs.  I realized after a bit of reading, that I probably needed VOX
turned on, which I did.



CW was excellent after that.



Anyways; I'd rather not have to remember every time I turned the rig on to
engage VOX if there was some way to make that setting "sticky" (hi)



Thanks
