[Elecraft] Spurs on 6 meters on FT8

[Don Wilhelm]

Barney,

I assume you are talking about a K3/K3S or KX3.
For those you need to increase the audio drive so you have 4 bars solid 
showing on the ALC meter with the 5th flashing.  That is the NO ALC 
point on those radios.  It is required for proper power control.
See the article on my website www.w3fpr.com for more detail.

I don't know if that will help with the spurs, but it will help with 
your power output and keep the radio from Power Hunting.

73,
