My K3S does exactly that same thing when I try to set the ALC on FT8. Four solid and the 5th flickering takes a very fine touch. Spot on for a while. Then three solid bars, then 6 or 7 bars. Way too sensitive for the sweet spot.

(FT8). The ALC - set at 4 solid and 5th flashing - is far more critical than I remember. Seems like I could easily set it exactly where I wanted it and it would stay there. Now not so. Just wondering what can affect the adjustment to where it will drop to 2 bars sometimes and the small change of the "mic" gain will make it higher than wanted. Not sure it is a continuous condition. Just far more critical than usual.
