Just VOX...(VOX on a mobile? That's nuts.)
It truly is hit & miss w.r.t. actual mic gain adjustments on amateur transceivers. The original Tempo S1 HT had one, but none of its successors did. The Alinco DR-135/235/435s also have one, but I don't think the HTs of the same era did. AFAIK none of the Baofeng UV-5R variants or TYT analog HTs have mic gain adjustments either.
