The ALC meter on the K3 is not completely an indication of ALC - the
first 4 bars act more like a VU meter to tell you the audio level. The
5th bar indicates the start of ALC action.

Jim,
That is the norm only for DATA modes where you would not want to
activate the ALC.
For SSB and other speech modes, drive the ALC meter to 5 - 7 bars with
the Compression set to zero and a normal voice. See the manual page
28. Best results are when you are kicking up to 7 bars on voice
Jim.
I might add that your PSK problem of working above 1000 Hz on the
waterfall may be a result of setting the K3 power high an using the
audio input level to control the power.
While that is the best for most of the transceivers in the marketplace,
it is NOT the way to operate a K2 or K3.
