That's my good idea for this year. There won't be another one until 2016!

I think that's an awesome idea Lyle!
It took me a while to figure that one out, and it's the first thing (or one of
them) that I tell someone when I find out the just got a KX3.

Thanks Guys!
That did it! WSJT-X has a transmit level control and WSPR doesn't. Turn out
the output level coming from WSPR is much higher than from WSJT-X. I had to
reduce the Mic Level down to 1 to get it to work.
It's bedtime now. Tomorrow, I'll reduce the level in Playback Devices so I can
level the Mic Level the same for both programs.
Lyle, maybe the firmware could be modified so that all of the ALC bars flash if
the transmitter is being overdriven? Just a thought. With no bars showing the
natural inclination is to dial up the level until you see something, which
turns out to be the opposite of what should be done.
Thanks again gents!

Be sure you are not overdriving the Tx audio input. Drop mic gain to 0,
transmit, then slowly bring up the mic gain. Overdrive will cause the ALC
indication to misbehave. This is on my list of DSP tasks when I get a
roundtuit.

I installed WSPR version 2.12_r3617 a few days ago and it does not "appear" to
be transmitting. The VOX on my KX3 activates and the TX LED lights up, but no ALC bars.
Switching between the ALC meter and the SWR/Power meter I can see that I'm putting out 5
watts, but apparently no audio based on the lack of an indication on the ALC meter.
HOWEVER, people are reporting receiving me on WSPRnet, so I'm not seeing any ALC
indication but I'm getting out.
- The audio interface is a Creative model SB1095 external USB soundcard.
- I'm using the latest version of WSJT-X successfully with the same setup.
- Mode: DATA A
This is weird. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is or isn't happening? I'd
appreciate any assistance!
