[Elecraft] Raspberry Pi, K2 and WSJT-X questions

[Brian Waterworth]

@Richard (G4DYA)...I also initially selected the Alsa settings in the
WSJT-X drop-downs.  I found that this sound card setting had quirks.  The
setting worked, but would always reset the mic setting.  I experimented,
because I didn't like having to set the mic setting in the OS sound
settings every time I used WSJT-X.  I found a value in the soundcards list
called Sysdefault for the USB sound card I had connected to the RPi.  This
one worked the way I expected...no more resetting the mic volume to max,
but instead respecting the setting that was there.  Now I can move among
different digital programs (FLdigi, WSJT-X, etc.) without having to change
the mic setting in the Linux's sound settings.

I am running the latest version of Raspbian on an RPI3.

regards,
Brian
