Yes, what you describes sounds like what happened to me when I switched
to 80 meters. I did have to click the 'reverse' button on Fldigi to
receive properly. Then when I tried to work stations, I got a lot of
'AGN.' I noticed the bargraph displays on the W2 watt meter kept
flashing. I finally checked the DATA MD button and it was on 'AFSK A'
instead of 'DATA A.' After changing it back to 'DATA A' and unchecking
the 'reverse' button in Fldigi, I had no more problems.

Are you in DATA A mode, or if not do you have compression turned up too far?

I am trying to operate AFSK on 15m in the ARRL RU contest. I have 2
contacts in the last 2 hours. I am by no means a big gun, but I am usually
better than this. Lineup is K3-KPA500-KAT-500. No problems on receive.
Drive is set to produce about 350 watts from the KPA-500. SWR is below 1.5.
As far as I can tell, baud rate, and shift are okay. I don’t think I am
reversed. I know my signal is getting out, because I get a lot of AGN AGN.
What disturbs me is that my ALC indication is rapidly jumping between 2 to
5 bars. This is not the 4 solid and 5 flickering. Power out on the KPA500
jumps between 300 and 400 watts. If anyone has a suggestion to get me back
in the fray, I would be most grateful.
