[Elecraft] Rig control error with K3S and WSJT-X on 30 meters

2022-04-18 Thread Frank O'Donnell
Over a period of time I've noticed an occasional error when transmitting FT8 on 30 meters with my K3S using WSJT-X. A couple of seconds into a transmit cycle, WSJT-X will display a "Rig control error" box, and I start hearing the rig's modulated audio output on its own speaker. This only
