[Elecraft] K3S Digital Mode Problems

[Kevin, N4TT]

MIC 4 seems a little low but the fact you are eventually getting some ALC
when  you crank it up tells me that either WJST-X audio (labeled as Pwr) on
the right of the main screen or the Windows 10 audio (control panel ->
sound -> USB Audio CODEC Speakers (if using internal K3s sound card) is set
too low. Check each of these.

For reference, after some help here on the reflector, my setting s are
MIC=30, WSJT-X Pwr = -17.6 dB, Sound Playback = -17.8 dB. The numbers work
for me but you may have to adjust to get the 4+flash ALC.

73,
