[TenTec] Orion - OT

RE: Using VOX.....

If you happen to "view" a multi media file with sound, the sound can transmitted over the air as it trips the VOX. Using a serial port (or USB to serial) to initiate PTT provides control to avoid accidental VOX transmission. I've made the VOX mistake and I often hear others sending audio instead of PSK-31 data.

Best regards,
