[Elecraft] K2: PSK-31 Power Settings

[Bob Cunnings]

Sorry, now I see that you did, in an earlier post. The context was
lost (trimmed away) by the time the statement quoted below was made,
so I took it at face value. I only remarked on this because the advice
for any other rig in the world is to set audio for very little or no
ALC indication.  The requirement that the K3 be set for 4-5 bars of
"ALC" has been a source of confusion for digital mode setup since the
beginning, as a search of the archives will reveal.
