[Elecraft] KX3: no ALC bars on transmit

[David Orman]

In addition to not enough output, too much output can do the same thing. It
took me a long time after switching laptops to figure out I had my output
too _high_ and that was causing no ALC bars to display. Since you're using
fldigi, I suggest the following:

1) Hookup headphones/speakers to your output. Hit 'tune' in fldigi, make
sure you're getting output.
2) Turn 'tune' off in fldigi. Turn your output volume all the way down.
Connect your radio. Set mic gain to 20.
3) Hit 'tune' in fldigi again, and slowly turn up the volume on your
computer until you start to see ALC bars appear.

Hope this helps,
David
