[Elecraft] KAM+ Connections

[Don Wilhelm]

Joel,

The K3 has an indicator for the proper audio input level - it is the ALC 
meter.  For data modes, adjust the audio output to have 4 bars lighted 
with the 5th bar flickering.
The old advice normally seen to not have any ALC meter activity.  The K3 
ALC meter is different - the onset of ALC is the 5th bar, below that 
level it behaves more like a VU meter to allow you to easily set the 
audio level.
