I don't use JT modes, but on RTTY and PSK I've found a similar issue with my K3S. I've mentioned it here in the past more in reference to the built-in sound card super sensitivity affecting VOX setup. The best I've done is to go into the Windows Sound setup and reduce the output (speaker) gain to about -30 dB. This will reduce the touchiness of the Mic (Line Level). Still I find it near impossible to set up for "flickering" bars, however.

This isn't an issue with my old K3 using the computer sound card and analog audio in and out of the K3. Progress?

Been using my K3s  (S/N 10462) for JT-65/JT-9 and am struggling with setting 
the ALC.  I am using the Mic Gain control for fine tuning---unbelievably fine.  
You really can't actually touch the knob,  you just breath on it or think hard 
about moving it!   It is the most sensitive control I have ever had to deal 
with in my 60 years as a ham!  Am I missing something?  Is there a better way 
to get old bar No. 5 jumping?  KE7K says that's what you do.  I can do it but 
hoping there's a easier way.  Any help?
