WSJT-X and K3S ALC

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

While mentioned earlier, the effort to set the correct audio level such
that the ALC bargraph shows 4 bars solid and the 5th bar blinking has
been a challenge to many.  I noted today that did happen after I changed
a few things around at my station.  Further investigation concluded that
the audio tone used during the TUNE routine in WSJT-X and FT-8 mode was
1500 Hz.   Changing this to a lower frequency, I actually used 1490, the
effect was not observed.

I attribute this observation at 1500 Hz to be some what of a cyclic
event between the ALC display timing in the K3S and the audio
frequency.  I'd suggest if you struggle to set the levels for 4 bars
solid on and the 5th blinking, check the audio tone frequency and move
it a few Hz up or down.

Hi guys,
I have a KX3 with roofing filters installed. I also have an IC-7300. Will KX3 have an advantage on receive in noisy environment and what is the best way to use them (SSB and CW)?
Thanks!MikeAB3VN
