[Elecraft] K3 FT8 Levels Sanity Check

[Joseph M. Durnal]

It has been a while since the K3 has done anything but CW.  Running a
temporary station at my grandmother's for the week and thought I'd run some
FT8 in the background.

IIRC you want 4 bars of ALC with the 5th flashing.

Here are my settings:

Windows Sound Device Settings (KIO3B sound card) = 50%
WSJT-X Power Slider = -22.5db (50%) Elecraft K3 Line in Gain = 40

That line in gain seems a little high, but it gives me the right ALC.  39
doesn't flash the fifth bar, and 41 will keep the 5th bar mostly solid.
