[Elecraft] LIN IN level varies

[Alan Ibbetson]

Hello Don,

LINE 20. And ALC 4 bars with 5th one flickering, as was recommended an 
aeon ago. Oh, COMP 0, although I don't think that has an effect on DATA A.

It is/was frustratingly intermittent, making fault finding a royal pain. 
So far this evening with the new microcode the K3 is behaving itself.
