KX3 Meter Display Question
Locked
 
|
OK - I’m officially stumped. How does one keep the meter display showing ALC continuously instead of RF output? When I operate the digital modes, in DATA-A, I want to have the ALC displayed so that I can keep an eye on making sure that 5th bar is just flickering. There is a difference in setting the Mic gain between JT65 and JT9, so this is something I like to monitor. However, after setting the MIC gain to the proper ALC level the display insists on jumping back to RF output. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Jim,
No, the display will normally go back to displaying the RF level. After setting the audio level to the KX3 (K3 or K3S), that level is not going to change unless you make some changes to the computer audio level. If you do that, just change the MIC GAIN knob a little bit and the display will revert to the ALC/COMP display. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/12/2016 10:02 PM, James Bennett wrote: > OK - I’m officially stumped.

On my KX3 tapping the keyer/mic knob toggles the display between power and alc and it stays there. If in the power/SWR display mode changing the mic gain temporarily shows alc but then reverts back to power.
Tap the button and it will stay put. Michael Blake - k9jri > On Aug 12, 2016, at 22:02, James Bennett <[hidden email]> wrote: > > OK - I’m officially stumped.

Set it and forget it. No need to watch constantly
