Don, Your statement about VOX clipping is true of most transceivers. The one exception that I know of is the STAR transceiver by G3XJP. With this design the audio from the microphone is delayed in DSP until all of the RF changeover etc has been accomplished. This gives a very clean and precise VOX operation.
