I have to run my K3 (S/N 1260) in split mode for WSJT-X.

It works fine for tone frequencies above 1500 Hz, but for low (<1000 Hz)
tones I can't get the ALC above a few bars with all controls (windows,
wsjt-x, K3) to their maximum settings.

Split 'solved' the problem, so I haven't investigated what is causing the
low frequency roll off.
