[Elecraft] PSK-D Mode

[Steve Ellington]

Bud
Your last comment about using DX4WIN makes me think you're trying to use 
software to send PSK while in D mode. D mode is strictly for using a key 
paddle and the K3's internal decoder. You were probably just sending a 
constant idle signal and pounding away on the computer's keyboard.
