[Elecraft] LIN IN level varies

[Bill Frantz]

The type of radio might matter for a fix for the problem.

If wsjt-x is set up to use CAT control from the computer, it 
will use CAT to set the radio into transmit mode, so the fact 
that the radio is in transmit mode doesn't mean that VOX has 
been activated. If this is the case, it is possible there is a 
problem with the sound card/cable(s).
