[Elecraft] P3 SVGA RTTY decode question

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

Sorry, I guess my frustration is with the limited documentation on the
P3 SVGA. Twice I thought it was defective but it wasn't.

So far I've found that the SVGA bias needs to be turned way down from
the default of 9.9 to 1.2-1.5, and that I'm losing simple serial data
from the K3 to the P3 SVGA on receive. I think this is a serial line
problem and Gary from Elecraft suggests turning down the rate from
38400.

Also, the USB keyboard I have (a Cooler Master I just got) doesn't
appear to work and I'm sure it's another problem on my side. Everything
else has been.
