[Elecraft] K3S USB audio output needs to be adjustable in Menu

[RLVZ at aol.com]

Hello Elecraft,
 
When feeding the audio from the K3S USB port to the CPU, the K3S audio  
level is extremely high and way too hot for good performance  on many digital 
modes.  
 
Example, even with my CPU's sound card set at the lowest possible level of  
"01" my K3S is hitting the JT-65 software with a super strong signal that 
is  much higher than the software wants to see and performance is degraded.   
The same is true when operating RTTY using MMTTY or 2Tone software.
 
The USB audio output on the K3S needs to be adjustable in the K3S Menu as  
it was on the K3 Serial port.
 
I wrote to you a few months ago about this without a positive  reply.  
Please address this serious issue.
 
Thank you-
 
Richard Van Zandt- K9OM

If you  are using Line Out with a fixed gain setting to feed audio to
WSJT-X,  adjusting the AF control will not do anything. What I do is leave
my RF  gain control at its normal position (around 3 o'clock) and use the
slider  at the lower left in the WSJT-X window to compensate for  gain
variations.
