[Elecraft] K3 doesn't work in AFSK-A mode but DATA-A does work. What's broken?

[Jim Rhodes]

OK, I have to admit that I just went back and tried it again and it does
work as it should. This morning I could make it stop working just by
switching the mode from DATA A to AFSK A. This afternoon it seems to make
no difference which is selected, they both work and with VOX.  Nice to know
if I ever need it, but I will continue to use FSK when in RTTY mode.  After
all these decades I am just more comfortable with it and it only takes 1
com port per "radio" running SO2V. And I know Win 10 can't mess up the
levels if I don't use any. Notebook when portable might get this treatment
though.
