Terry,

Open the soundcard controls for the USB CODEC in your computer and increase the "Speaker" or Line Out slider.

Thanks for the particularly timely  reply, Don.  I spent the past weekend trying to get 
my K3S set up for RTTY with MMTTY.  My old K3 (474) worked just fine for years.  Using 
Data A, AFSK, 45 baud, I can cleanly copy RTTY and Transmit via VOX, but, for the life of 
me, I cannot get the ALC set to "4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing".  I 
can get it to set to 3 bars solid or 5 bars solid but nothing in between, no matter how 
sensitive I try to be.  Seems I recall someone else with this exact issue on her a few 
weeks ago.  I have spent this morning trying to find that post as I'm pretty sure his 
problem was solved.  I am setting the ALC via the Mic (Line) Gain.  I checked that Data A 
had reduced Compression to ZERO and TX EQ flat.  Any suggestions?
