[Elecraft] K3 DATA A help needed

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

Change the display to show alc activity.  Then try a transmitt while 
adjusting your volume level controls on the PC.   You can do this it 
test mode or turn the power to 0 watts.

If you are getting a signal into the k3 you should be able to get the 
alc to flicker and then you know you are getting signal in.  If you get 
nothing on the alc then you have to trouble shoot the PC output.  Also 
you might have to adjust the line in settings.

This was pointed out to me as a check when I was having JT65 problems 
and it helped me identify a sound card problem.

Obviously something changed in the sound output since you unplugged 
everything so now you get the fun in finding it.

I hope this helps.
