I had finally got my KX3 and MaxcBook Pro set up to operate FT8. I even gave a demo presentation at our club meeting this past Friday.
Yesterday I reassembled everything at my home shack and managed to log 8 FT8 contacts while familiarizing my self with the tutorials and software. After taking a break came back to the fun to find that I was not getting any ALC indication on my KX3. (Previously that had been fine and I had adjusted to the 4+ bars as so often recommended.) I have tried everything including switching sound cards (Signal Link to my Sabrent USB-C dongle) with the same result. Operating the radio in CW and SSB the bars show normally. I do notice that when I hit the WSJT-X “Tune” button there is a brief burst of noise where the bars show but once the test tone comes one there are no bars. Same result when sending a CQ. I have cranked all levels way up (sound car output, WSJT-X “Power” and KX3 MIC input) with no change. Also rebooted the Mac and reselected the sound in and out several times. I thought there might be some CAT interface dueling with MacLogger DX but I have made sure to keep the Logger from taking control of the rig. I have actually been able to complete a couple of QSOs with this condition so something is getting out but I have no way of properly adjusting levels If I can’t see the bars. Help! Please!
