Thanks foTalked with Elecraft and they sent me a paper on setting up the
different modes for the K3/0. One thing I was doing wrong was using Data
A when they recommend USB. Seems to be okay now with some more signal
reports.

Dwight,
You have the audio level set correctly if you are getting 4 bars on
the ALC meter with the 5th one flickering at times.
Are you using DATA A mode? If you are using USB mode, you must
manually turn off compression and set the equalizer flat. Using DATA
A does that automatically.
Another thing to consider is that the soundcard output of the laptop
may be distorted. You might try an external soundcard.
Do you have distortion in SSB voice operation? If no distortion in
SSB, there is likely nothing wrong with the K3.
Those are the only things I can think of at the moment - unless the
problem is with the receiving station.
One nice thing about remote operation (if the transmitter is really a
good distance from your control position), you can use another
receiver and computer to monitor your data mode signals yourself. A
modest antenna should do OK for receiving your signal so you may be
able to 'sneak it' by the HOA or your building manager. Think stealth
antennas for portable work.

I'm using a new K3/0 mini and the remoteRig boxes to remote my K3.
I'm getting reports of my PSK looking like I'm over driving it.
I have my laptop soundcard level set down to 10 as recommended by
Brandon. When xmtg I set the ALC level to 4 with 5th flickering or
even just 4. If I go any lower I get no output.
