[Elecraft] K3 and JT65 (JT9) power instability problem

[Fred Jensen]

I made a little mark at the 4th bar position on the display with a 
dry-erase black marker.  I have a really hard time counting them in 
real-time as I'm adjusting levels.  And yes, I have a math degree, no 
need for snarky "counting" comments. :-))

This subject of K2/K3/KX3 power control comes up often.  Maybe some 
editing in the Users' Manuals to make it very obvious and clear that 
"You really need to read and understand this part" would help?
