[Elecraft] K3 and JTDX

[Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

I do not have any setup information relevant to the gear you are using, 
but you must obtain 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing on the K3 ALC 
meter.  Failure to achieve that will result in no transmit or erratic 
power from the K3.

I have information on my website to aid you in setting the audio levels 
to achieve that target.
Go to my website www.w3fpr.com and scroll down the left column to the 
last article and click to open the document.

I hope that helps.

73,
Don W3FPR
