Thanks all for the helpful suggestions - turns out the audio drive levels are pretty sensitive. The WSJT Power slider on the right is very touchy in combination with the K3S Mic Gain knob. ALC can disappear in an instance! 73, Ian N8IK

Check with an in-line wattmeter. WSJT-X is no different than other soundcard data modes. Do you have the DATA mode input set to LINE IN? If you have a K3S or K3 with the KIO3B *and* are using the internal soundcard, anything plugged into the LINE IN jack on the K3/K3S will override the audio input from the internal soundcard. Do you have the data submode set to DATA A? The audio drive should be set to produce 4 bars solid on the ALC meter with the 5th bar flashing - that is the "No ALC" point, the 1st 4 bars are there to help you adjust the audio drive level. Set the MIC SEL to LINE and set MIC + LINE to off. Set the soundcard output slider up to at least 3/4 and then adjust the Line-In (Mic) Gain to obtain the proper deflection on the ALC meter (you can do that in TX TEST mode without producing RF). If you have no indication on the ALC meter, that is good reason for no RF output. 73, Do W3FPR On 1/25/2016 5:26 PM, Ian wrote: > TXMON installed correctly!
