[Elecraft] Elecraft K3 Support on the Weekends?

[Ed K1EP]

You won't be able to do the low power tests without either the jumper 
or the PAIO board.  The jumper was installed to make sure that you 
could do the tests without doing the PA install AND to make sure that 
you removed the jumper BEFORE doing any PA tests.
