ALC shows only in TX mode. For digital modes, the manual says to set 
audio drive from the computer to the rig so that ALC reads 4 bars 
flashing 5 when transmitting. Digital modes should use the LINE Input. 
The correct audio drive setting is a combination of computer output gain 
and Line Input gain. When in Digital modes, the Mic Gain knob becomes 
Line Input gain. In general, computer output should set at least 6 dB 
below 100%.

[Elecraft] KX3 - CWT, no ALC in Data Mode

2023-10-28 Thread John Overbaugh 
Messing around with PSK today and I'm stumped... I am sure I just switched
a setting somewhere but I can't figure out where. When I am in DATA A mode
for PSK, I see the CWT meter, not the ALC meter. When I press the Keyer/Mic
knob, it *should* change, but it doesn't. When I rotate the knob, it
changes the keyer speed. I can't get the ALC meter to come up at all during
XMIT mode.

Is there a config setting somewhere that controls this or is this possibly
an indication the knob needs repair?
