[Elecraft] K3 Audio Volume

[Tom Hammond]

Gary:

NEXT TIME it occurs, and BEFORE you do anything 
else, find a signal and not the S-meter 
reading.  THEN re-cycle whatever must be recycled 
to obtain the expected audio output level and 
THEN re-check the S-meter. If the signal level 
has not changed, then the problem is (most 
probably) in the AF section. If the signal is now 
reading higher on the S-meter, then the problem is RF-related.
