[Elecraft] Power problems K3

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Hugh,

If he's using AFSK from a PC there's a few things he'll want to verify.

The K3 should be set to digital mode AFSK A?
The audio output from his PC should be attached to the K3 line input.
The output level of the PC and MIC setting of the K3 should be adjusted so
that 4 bars of the K3 ALC meter are solidly lit with the 5th bar flickering.

73,
Mike K2MK
