[Elecraft] raspy cw audio on K3--but OK after power cycle

[Rick NK7I]

Occasionally the filters, shift center, NR or NV kick in and I've always 
written that off as random output from the computer.  A filter reset 
(long push on the shift knob) or a mode change usually brings it back to 
what is wanted.

73,
