[Elecraft] K3 No output in digital mode

[Dave & Jeanne Robertson]

Thanks for the reply.  Increasing the number of bars on the ALC ( by either 
increasing the mic gain or audio drive from the computer) has no effect on 
the getting output power. leaving the audio drive where is is (3 bars) and 
changing modes on the K3 then returning to Digital A mode will now produce 
the requested output power. This indicates the audio drive is not a problem. 
Holding the TUNE button starts the problem of no RF out again.

Last night I received an e-mail from Wayne Burdick of Elecraft indicated 
they have solved the problem and it will be released in a beta soon.
