If it power hunts, this is a clear indication that the audio level is
not correct. Be sure to set the level such that you have 4 bars solid
on the ALC meter and the 5th bar flickering. Now, with that said, this
is not ALC, but is audio level. For others to advise you and even the
instructions in the software manuals, unless they have set up and
operated an Elecraft radio, the topic of adjusting for no ALC is
incorrect and thus DOES NOT apply to Elecraft radios.

Good to know for DX mode, also good to learn something. Had I thought it
through it makes sense on harmonics alone.
In regular mode, I stay between 1500 and 2200 Hz, so I don’t have to futz with
the input level (either the sound card or the line in is not flat, then it
power hunts). That means also that harmonics are well out of the filtered
range.
Thanks! I’ll try it.

Hello Rick,
You really DO need to use some sort of frequency control, either split or
fake-it, especially in F&H mode. When you transmit the lower audio tones,
their harmonics and distortion will still be in your audio passband and be
transmitted along with the desired tones. The purpose of using proper rig
control is to keep the audio tones above 1500 Hz so the harmonics and
distortion are out of your transmit passband.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X Split operation.
I run WSJT-X via HRD rig control (SignaLink audio) for CAT PTT (and VFO)
on the K3.
I do NOT set WSJT-X for any split. The (sole) VFO doesn't move once set.
In everyday FT8, it's fine to let the audio determine actual frequency
(the other uses one 'tone', I stay on mine or not, think of it as cross
band ops).
In hound mode, the change in 'tone' is determined by the program (once
ack'ed by the fox); no VFO shift is required.
It's been flawless without moving a VFO (except when initially selecting
a band or changing to the fox frequency). No added commands to the K3,
life is simple.
There is a designed lag from keyup to actual generation of tone, which
is fine, it lets all the hardware (amps, pre-amps) have time to get
'safe' if needed (the KPA line doesn't require it).
Yes, WSJT-X whines every startup in hound configuration that it 'needs'
split, but that isn't the case in reality. This setup works, it's
simple and simple ROCKS on any day.

Do you have the same mode selected for both VFOs? Give the A -> B a
double tap to be sure. Understand that in Hound mode you need to set
your TX frequency above 1000 Hz. If the Fox calls you he will move
your TX down to his frequency.
I'm still experiencing a TX delay, which I think is WSJT commanding
the K3 to go Split and then waiting for confirmation. This has been
discussed before. Also, I use VOX and we still don't have VOX
settings remembered by mode, so there is constant fiddling to get the
VOX to activate.

I too run split FT8 Data A. I cannot get the K3 to transmit in the WSJT
