[Elecraft] K3S Shift Setting for WSJTX

[Jim Brown]

I agree. I use WSJT-X mostly on 6M during the summer and 160M during the 
winter. On 6M, I can't use the WSJT-X split mode, because it takes over 
my second VFO, preventing me from working back and forth from WSJT-X on 
one VFO (and RX) and CW on the low end of the band.

The split mode in WSJT-X is simply a crutch for those who don't know (or 
don't care) how to set audio levels so that distortion is not produced 
in the audio chain. The link below includes simple procedures for 
getting those settings right.  It applies to all sorts of 
computer-to-rig audio connections, not only those with a USB interface.

BTW -- a decent USB interface can GREATLY improve decoding of weak 
signals.  That link describes my testing that clearly shows that.
