[Elecraft] Adjusting Audio Level for Digital Modes

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob and all,

Lyle Johnson (the DSP designer) has stated several times that actual ALC 
begins at the 5th bar on the "ALC" meter.  That is the point of "Zero 
ALC" for the K3/K3S/KX3/KX2.

The K2 is different in its indication in that the ALC begins at the 1st 
bar illuminated.  The data mode setup for the K2 is the same - set the 
audio level correctly and control the power with the power knob.
So for the K2, you advance the audio until you begin the see the 1st ALC 
bar illuminated and then back off until it goes out.

73,
