[Elecraft] K3 Digital modes

[Greg Felter]

Thank you for the responses.  I have a better understanding of how the digital modes are handled by the K3.  I picked up a book on the K3 so hopefully if I need further assistance on a topic I should have a better start and more refined questions.  Thanks all again, 73
