ALC on RTTY Again
Locked
 
|
I am installing a new computer system here and have had to install my
Signalink USB and MMTTY. It seems to be working but there seems to be an issue with the K3. This kind of showed up on my on XP machine in recent weeks. Problem. There is not ALC no matter how hard a drive it with the mic gain control on the radio. There was while I was testing, but then I got into a QSO and the alc indication on the K3 disappeared. No matter what I do, there is nothing on the meter but the power output says I am running 95 watts. That is on the Drake Wattmeter. But, there is no alc showing on the rig. i can turn the power up and down using the mic control or the TX control on the signal link. As I have been working with it, I observe that the power out started to call of. Now I can run everything wide open and get about 65 watts out. On SSB, it seems to work .Had a nice QSO and reported a beautiful signal. ALC worked fine. Anyone know that something my be awry with the K3?

Leroy,
Have you considered that you may have a problem with your computer and the soundcard (Signalink) output? There is always a tendency to blame the transceiver, but the fact that you do not have the proper number of ALC bars indicates that there may be a problem with the volume of audio being fed to the K3. Look at the "speaker" output level for the Signalink on your computer. The slider should be set to at least 75% of full. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/6/2017 4:10 PM, Leroy Buller wrote: > I am installing a new computer system here and have had to install my > Signalink USB and MMTTY.

I called Howard at ELecraft....he saw my email come it to. . He said to
look at Windows 10 again because he noted that it does some strange things to the sound card settings depend on program. I checked it again, and the Windows and FUBARed the settings. FUBAR! Made the change....works now.
