[Elecraft] K3 and PSK

[Don Wilhelm]

Ron,

I would suggest that you reduce the soundcard output level and increase 
the K3 line in setting for smoother control of the audio level.  I run 
my K3 line in at 12 to 13 and adjust the soundcard level to achieve the 
proper number of ALC bars (4) - my soundcard controls are at the 
mid-point when it is adjusted correctly.
I am using an internal SoundBlaster Live 24 soundcard. Your results may 
depend on your particular soundcard as well as the K3 settings.

73,
