[Elecraft] My new K3 has arrived on Saturday

[dl1oli at t-online.de]

Hi,

thank you very much to OMs who responded to my e-mail. You helped me
very much.

Sebastian, W4AS gave the right reference for my HRD -logbook problem.
Config: "VFO IND" to Yes.
It now works flawless.
Rich VE3KI helped me with the Line-in: "With MAIN:MIC SEL set to LINE IN
(this is remembered separately 
for SSB and Data modes), the Mic gain control adjusts the Line In level.
"
I learned that I have to adjust the level for every mode.

So thank you very much, now I can explore all the other funktions of the
K3.
