[Elecraft] KX3 running FT8 and WSPR

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

Are you driving the audio properly for the K3?  You should set the audio 
to give you 4 bars on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing.  That is 
the NO ALC point for the K3.

Adjust the power with the K3 Power knob and not the audio level.

73,
