[Elecraft] K3 no RF on FT8

[w1rm at comcast.net]

That was it, Mike.  Dang windows messed with the settings.  I've been
restoring this computer for 3 days now and I'm punchy with it.

Hi Pete,

I would first look at how you are generating your FT8 audio tones.   The
symptoms you describe seem to me to be a case of your input audio tones
being attenuated somehow.

Sometimes Windows updates mess with the sound levels of various audio
devices, so whatever sound device you're using is worth checking the levels.
