The VOX enable seems to have a firmware bug - but (for me, at least) it is an easy issue to work around.
?
Here is the bug:
Whenever you enter a menu, then come out of the menu system, the VOX ceases to work -- at least until you press the menu exit button again, which in this case changes the VFO mode.
?
I think this bug happened recently.? Hans updated the firmware to defeat vox while pressing menu buttons (because the button presses were triggering the VOX).? Then the VOX is re-enabled when exiting the menus.? But for some reason there seems to have been an error introduced which requires an extra level of menu-exit to re-enable VOX.? And I think pressing the 'Tune' encoder button will also set it to working again.
?
I set the VOX sensitivity to about 35 and it works fine with my reasonably-sensitive microphone, after enabled as noted above.
