[Elecraft] K3 - Audio/IF filtering definitions

[Don Wilhelm]

Rick,

What you say is true for the K3 and the KX3, but you referred to 
"El;ecraft" as all encompassing == which includes the K2 as well.
One would adjust the K2 audio level to just indicate one ALC bar and 
then back off until it doe not light.
