[Elecraft] [K3] Using NaP3 in AFSK A mode

[Barry LaZar]

Rich,
     You're right. I didn't understand what you were trying to do. I 
would never have seen what you are referring to as I wouldn't operate as 
you describe; it never occurred to me to do so. And, I use NaP3 V3.1 
which may also have some subtle differences.
If I get some time, I'll need to play and see what I can discover, but 
I'll need to do a little station reconfiguration first. I would like to 
know more.

73,
Barry
