[Elecraft] Let me try again...RTTY and K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Lee,

I have not tried RTTY with the latest firmware - BUT --

Until Lyle states differently, I would suggest that you set the line in 
level just to the point when the 3 bars are solid, and no higher.
I have not tried RTTY, but if the bars flicker, I would assume that the 
audio drive level is not quite 'up to snuff'.

This has been working since I got the rig.  Everything is fine but I have found this one issue that is different from what I have observed before.

The three bars are either on solid, or I can turn down the drive and the three bars start to flicker.  Then I can turn it down, and the three bars are totally gone.  I still have output with the three bars "gone."  The power output is right at 100 watts when the three bars are flickering.
