[Elecraft] K3 HI-TEMP ALARM

[JE1TRV]

Wayne & Gary, 
Thanks for the support off the list.
After I set PA TEMP to "R ONLY" instead of "T AND R",
the problem stopped.
I don't know the reason why. But anyway it seems usable
with this setting for the time being.

Jaakko, 
Please try this setting on your K3 too. 

TU & 73
Atsu, JE1TRV
