While mentioned earlier, the effort to set the correct audio level such
that the ALC bargraph shows 4 bars solid and the 5th bar blinking has
been a challenge to many. I noted today that did happen after I changed
a few things around at my station. Further investigation concluded that
the audio tone used during the TUNE routine in WSJT-X and FT-8 mode was
1500 Hz. Changing this to a lower frequency, I actually used 1490, the
effect was not observed.
I attribute this observation at 1500 Hz to be some what of a cyclic
event between the ALC display timing in the K3S and the audio
frequency. I'd suggest if you struggle to set the levels for 4 bars
solid on and the 5th blinking, check the audio tone frequency and move
it a few Hz up or down.
