Easy: You want a good, linear signal path. That involves
mainly setting the various levels. Once this is accomplished
for the mode where it is measured easily (ie., PSK, with the
imdmeter), that set
The "change to 1 bar" is something we discussed, but decided to not do it.
Adjust for 4 or 5 bars. If you see the "hunting" then either decrease MIC
gain until it goes away (probably at 2 or 3 bars) , or increase it slightly
until it goes away (probably at 5 bars). Increasing will activate the A

There have been a few changes over the course of this part of the
firmware development. I do not know the date of that particular PSK

Simon,
My guess is that you are driving too hard if the ALC bars indicate more
than 5 or 6 bars on a regular basis.
Since Lyle is the designer of those parts, I would tend to believe what
he is saying.

Now I don't know what to believe. In Lyle's April 6 post, he says:
We recommend setting the Mic (or LINE IN) Gain so you get 5 bars of
ALC,
with possibly the 6th bar occasionally flickering...
Yet, on the "K3 Operating Tips" page of the Elecraft web site, in the
section about "Setting up
What would you do with modes other than PSK?

I think the K3 firmware is supposed to be clever enough not to use ALC if
you set it up as directed. So you don't need to worry abou

So when I'm in DATA mode how do I ensure that I am not using any ALC?
A good data mode operator monitors ALC all the time as using ALC can often
result in a wide signal.

Thanks, Joe - I seem to recall reading that somewhere, but I hadn't really
