Yes, or so the 5 bars are showing. Traditional ALC doesn't commence
until after the 5th bar, so should be OK.

Thank you David and everyone else. The problem was that for some mysterious
reason, FLdigi lost its proper configuration settings – all of them. It was
confusing because I was receiving just fine; it was only the transmit that was
affected.
Now that I am getting the ALC bars, I find that tuning the MIC control is so
critical that I cannot get a flickering 5th bar. I jump from 4 bars to 5 bars.
Is it acceptable to back off from 5 bars until the 5th bar just disappears and
4 bars remain?

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3: no ALC bars on transmit
In addition to not enough output, too much output can do the same thing. It
took me a long time after switching laptops to figure out I had my output too
_high_ and that was causing no ALC bars to display. Since you're using fldigi,
I suggest the following:
1) Hookup headphones/speakers to your output. Hit 'tune' in fldigi, make sure
you're getting output.
2) Turn 'tune' off in fldigi. Turn your output volume all the way down. Connect
your radio. Set mic gain to 20.
3) Hit 'tune' in fldigi again, and slowly turn up the volume on your computer
until you start to see ALC bars appear.
Hope this helps,
David

All,
I have my KX3 connected to a computer and am running FLdigi. For psk31, I
set the KX3 to VOX, and the mode to DATA-A. When I send characters from the
FLdigi, I see no bars in the ALC display. What could be wrong?
