Rick,
What you say is true for the K3 and the KX3, but you referred to
"El;ecraft" as all encompassing == which includes the K2 as well.
One would adjust the K2 audio level to just indicate one ALC bar and
then back off until it doe not light.

That's a key point as not everyone understands that less audio is better on
PSK and most folks tend to hit the audio hard on both TX and RX. The
resulting IMD is shown as 'echoes' on the waterfall and it tends to bang on
the soundcard AGC, potentially blocking the signal you want to hear.
For non-Elecraft gear, adjust to *just* when the ALC is starting to get
tickled, then back off a titch. For Elecraft, make the fifth ALC bar blink
(this changes with the actual tone used) and go no higher.
Of course you can use the data modes with the K(X)3 instead.

With this narrow bandwidth
I find it easier to pull weak signals out of the noise floor and
avoid overload from nearby strong signals.
