The K3 suggested ALC level for digital modes is *4* bars. The 6 bar indication is for SSB (actually listed as 5-7 bars). According to the K3 FAQ page - when the indication is at 5 bars, the DSP ALC is just being "tickled". For data modes, ALC action is not desirable, thus the 4 bar recommendation.
Up to (but not including) the 5th bar on the ALC meter, the meter is indicating something similar to VU units rather than ALC action - the 5th bar is the onset of ALC. 73, Don W3FPR AD6XY wrote: > Thanks for this table.
