[Elecraft] K3 - KRX3: AF Gain

[Mitch Wolfson DJØQN]

Hi Lyle,

Thanks for the tip.....I am using 2.46, and it didn't work until you pointed 
me in the right direction.

Since I had the AF Gain set to HI before I installed the KRX3, I now 
disabled the KRX3 and changed AF to LO. Then I enabled the KRX3 and changed 
AF to HI afterwards, and that solved that problem.

Now I notice that my KRX3 sensitivity is much lower than the main receiver, 
which wasn't the case when I installed it. I will try to figure that problem 
out on my own or otherwise contact support.

Thanks again & 73,
Mitch DJØQN
