[Elecraft] KX3: advise for setting up for WSJT-X

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

The audio settings for the K3 and K3 are the same, control the audio so 
you have 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing.
Use the computer output controls to establish that level with the KX3 
Mic Gain set to mid-range.

You will want to use the headphone output of the KX3 rather than the IQ 
output.  The IQ output is at too low a level to drive the soundcard 
input for DATA modes.

73,
Don W3FPR
