[Elecraft] rtty and MK2R+ K-3

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

That is highly dependent on the computer sound card.  Lyle has 
recommended the setting of 10 to keep from overdriving the input of the 
sound card (overdriving the sound card will cause distortion).
The 'problem' is *not* the K3 creating any distortion.
Of course, if you are driving a device that needs more audio than the 
typical sound card, the range from 10 to 100 may be required - it all 
depends on the device.
