[Elecraft] K3 sudden high volume behaviour

[Stephen Prior]

I have just realised that I had MacLoggerDX running on my Mac during the qso
where I had the problem and wondering if the volume control slider on that
were somehow misbehaving with rf into the serial connection.  80m knocks out
my broadband connection, so there is a possible emc issue there.  If anyone
can come up with another similar experience that would be useful.

For the moment it's not a show stopper!
