[Elecraft] K3 pwr out on digimodes

[Don Wilhelm]

The K3 suggested ALC level for digital modes is *4* bars.  The 6 bar 
indication is for SSB (actually listed as 5-7 bars).
According to the K3 FAQ page - when the indication is at 5 bars, the DSP 
ALC is just being "tickled".  For data modes, ALC action is not 
desirable, thus the 4 bar recommendation.

Up to (but not including) the 5th bar on the ALC meter, the meter is 
indicating something similar to VU units rather than ALC action - the 
5th bar is the onset of ALC.
