[Elecraft] K3S WSJT and FT8

[Olof Lundberg]

Thank you all. I thought I had all this done but the obfuscated Windows 10 audio settings caught me out probably. It turned out that it was the transmit chain of audio level settings wsjt pwr - windows spkr audio - K3 mic/line level that had to be ’tuned’. So next step will be to read up on how you do the qsos. 3B8M might do a test run on 17m later today and I will try to do 160 and perhaps 80 around sunset/sunrise night between Wed and Thu my time. That would be 1830 and 0120 UTC respectively.

73 and, again, many thanks for the quick help
