Fldigi has a TX level *attenuator* control on the status bar (to the left
of the AFC button) that can be used to trim the TX level. It can be used
to adjust levels downward to match those of other programs. It's not
labeled and is often overlooked.

Be Carfull you really should have four bars and fifth blinking if its
below that you can get some strange fluctuations on the output power.
so a compromise between programs is not the best idea. When the K3 is in
DATA A mode the mic gain will adjust the level for the line in so
adjustment when using different programs is easy.
level differences can be a problem with running multiple programs
for digital as they seems to have different algorithms and different
output levels I no longer use FLdigi and have moved to MMVARI as it
has internal TX level adjustment that is independent of the soundcard
level. with this I can match the output with the WSJT-X and
MMSSTV. I can't seem to find this independent control for FLdigi.
I have only tried Coacomodem some time ago but I believe it too has an
independent level control that may help in matching levels with other
programs although I cant remember if that setting is linked to the
windows levels or not
I don't believe that WSJT-X has this though.

John - thanks - that hit the nail on the head for me. The setting I had on
my external audio card?s output control was sufficient given the K3?s Mic
level that I was using with cocoaModem and WSJT-X. However, as you pointed
out, it was not sufficient enough for FLDIGI to ?tickle? the K3. So - I
increased the audio card output a bit until I saw the K3?s ALC bars light up,
then backed down on the K3?s Mic gain. Now it?s working just fine with
FLDIGI, cocoaModem, and WSJT-X.
Much appreciated for the replies from both of you - case closed!

The same thing happens in my setup, if the audio level from the sound card
to the K3 is too low. Nothing will appear in the ALC window, no matter how
high I turn up the mic gain. Once establishing a minimum audio level, the
ALC will show four bars with the fifth flickering at a mic level of 7. It's
very touchy for me to get just right, but I am probably using sub-optimal
sound cards. Works fine, though, for all the digital modes.

Hi david - thanks for the reply to my post.
Unfortunately, no improvement. I have everything set exactly as you
suggest (it was already that way) and the result is the same. I type in some
text, press T/R and: the K3 goes into transmit mode, RF flows out the radio
to the antenna, but no ALC indication on the K3 ALC meter. I shut down
FLDIGI, bring up cocoaModem and do EXACTLY the same thing with absolutely no
changes, and I get the RF out, but with the fifth ALC bar flickering. Funky,
huh?

Its not normal verify that you have the correct sound card selected in
FLdigi and that the levels are set correctly.
In the setup under configure sound card first tab
"devices" I have port audio set to the sound card for the rig
(soundblaster in my case)
under "settings" sample rate is native and converter is medium
interpolation. and corrections all 0 and
third tab "right channel" all buttons are clear unchecked.

I?ve been using cocoaModem on my iMac for PSK31 QSO?s. Also, I use
WSJT-X for JT65 and JT9. Recently downloaded FLDIGI v 3.22.01 and gave it a
try. It works, but?..
When I transmit, I get absolutely no indication of RF being sent. The
K3 goes into transmit mode, but I get no ALC action on the K3 meter. I know
I?m getting RF out because (1) my KPA500 (in standby mode) is showing 30
watts, and (2) I?ve had several QSO?s on PSK31. If I bring up cocoaModem and
transmit, I get the ALC action that I?m used to seeing: the fifth bar
flickering. Same thing with WSJT-X. But for some reason, when I transmit with
FLDIGI - nada, zip, zero indication.
Is this ?normal?? If so, how would one ever set audio levels w/o having
any indication of audio actually flowing? What do I have set wrong?
Thanks, Jim / W6JHB
