[Elecraft] K3/RigExpert TI-5

[Lyle Johnson]

I use a RigExpert Plus, which appears to be very similar to the TI-5.  
You'll need to set the "OUT" pot to max and use a high setting on the 
windows slider control related to that output.  I don't know how that 
maps to usage with MixW; I'm using DM780.

The K3 requires more drive than some radios for sufficient transmit 
audio on Line In.

Be *sure* to set the drive to 4-5 bars of ALC.  I  know the conventional 
wisdom on PSK31 tells you to have no ALC indication on your transmitter 
or your Tx IMD will suffer, but the purveyors of that wisdom aren't 
using a K3 :-)  The "ALC" indication on the K3 is an audio input level 
indication until you get to 5 bars. It is *not* a "Tx power has been 
reduced due to overdive" indicator.
