[Elecraft] 6M repeater use K3 - fixed

[Bill Frantz]

Well, I found the problem. I had been playing with PL DEV at 
Wayne't request back in September. Wayne wanted to know what the 
minimum deviation that would work on the transverters.

I had dialed it back to 0.15, the minimum and everything worked 
well on 2M, but I hadn't tried 6M. When I raised the value from 
0.15 to 0.21 the repeater started working. (It fails at the 
intermediate setting of 0.18). The raspy tone I heard on the KX3 
was audio feedback with the speaker too close to the mic.

Thanks for Michael Eberle, KI0HA for mentioning FM deviation. It 
helped me remember that I had performed the experiment.
