Don, Thanks for the reply!
Your correct about the ALC. I didn't have my TX level set high enough on my signalink modem. Once I turned that up, 4 bars, with the 5th flashing was present, so I think I'm good with that item. Thanks!!! Instead of typing an email for the remaining items, I just made a video and put it up on youtube. It will show the KX3 TX red light still being lit after fldigi is done sending along with the waterfall issue I'm seeing with no filters applied. Maybe seeing this vs reading will spark some solutions. https://youtu.be/qfUnyQsrgzM Kyle On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 1:09 PM, Don Wilhelm <w3...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Kyle, > > Not answering about the receive waterfall because it appears you have some > other things to clean up first. > > The ALC bars are important.
