Yes, this is the reason for using VOX to turn digital mode transmit on and off. Makes life in the real world of multiple simultaneous software applications much easier. I routinely run two instances of WSJT along with JT65-HF at the the same time. (I could try to run them all through LP-BRIDGE, except that it's just one more layer of complex code, and I know the main K-3 utility, K3-EZ, and (I think) K3 Frequency Memory Editor won't run reliably through LP-BRIDGE. VOX is just a simpler solution for digital.)
LOL I operate both WSJT and SSB on 6 meters. Usually when I switch from WSJT mode to SSB mode (with the VOX on), my mic trips the transmitter a few times until I remember to shut off the VOX. One of the local 6m hams, who is ALWAYS monitoring 50125, keys his rig and coughs a couple times into his mic, just to needle me. This kind of teasing is innocuous enough, but I could sure do without it. :-/ When can we get independent VOX status for data modes and SSB? Assuming it's still on the list, how far down the list is it, Wayne?
