[Elecraft] K3 a few new user questions

[Phil Hystad]

I use the Signalink with the K3 and I found that I had to have a larger line level output from the Signalink.  Inside the Signalink is a jumper that allows you to switch to a higher voltage.  Before I did this, the level was not high enough to drive the K3.  I don't know if this is a universal problem or something that merely worked for me in my configuration.
