I think the K3 firmware is supposed to be clever enough not to use ALC if
you set it up as directed. So you don't need to worry about it. To be honest
there are so many other ways to screw up a data mode signal - overdriving
the mic input, RF feedback etc. - that anyone who thinks their signal is
clean just because no ALC is showing is relying on luck to a certain extent.
Everyone should use an IMD meter or something like it.
