You guys are over-thinking this "issue". Just set whatever combination of
level controls it takes to get four solid bars and a flashing fifth on the
ALC and get on with it.....that works for me.
See Y'all on FT8!

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: Odd ALC behavior
Thanks to all for the sheer number and breadth of answers... Rather than
answer each one, and create a huge number of posts, I will try and answer
all here...
I have done all the steps outlined i the posts here before, and have tried
them again today.
Output from the computer is sitting dead center, line in was sitting at 27,
and the power slider on WSJT-X is sitting at 4/5th full.
I took a different sound card program, (MixW in RTTY), and I got the same
behavior at 5 bars, the meter shows 5 bars, or no bars going between those
conditions about once or twice a second randomly.
If I increase ANY of the audio controls it drops out of that mode, and acts
just as Elecraft say to set things, just one bar higher, i.e. sits at 5
bars, and the 6th flashes...
No combination I can create of the input, or output controls will stop this.
I also tried adjusting the power controls set a 1 watt, and at 50 watts.
The power control makes zero difference in how it behaves. In fact if I
am in TEST TRANSMIT mode the problem shows...
Listening to the computer output via MON-- sounds perfect...
I may next get the scope out again, and start looking at things again...
I doubt it is the sound card changing levels because the issue goes away
if I turn up LINE IN on the K3...
I am still at a loss as to what is causing this issue. I am pretty sure it
is an artifact of something happening in the K3, but for the life of me I
can't figure it out.
73s and thanks,
Dave
