Well, I don't continually hold down the mic button.  Only while I am talking!

Telephone is full duplex.  Ham radio isn't.  Or are you saying that even with a telephone it's not truly full duplex but switches super fast?  Don't think so.  You and I can both talk on a telephone at the same time and hear each other.  While you are speaking on ham radio, you can't hear me if I start talking until you pause and the vox drops.

Oh well......VOX I guess if fine if you are using it to ragchew and it is set up properly.  It's annoying though trying to talk to someone where the first half syllable of every word is missed.

73,
