[Elecraft] Problem with Test TX Data and ALC

[Don Wilhelm]

Carl,

You should be in DATA mode - specifically the DATA A submode on the K3.  
Do not use SSB mode, even though it will work, that just "muddies the 
waters".
For that mode, do not set MIC+LINE on in the menu - set LINE IN only.  
This is a per mode setting, so if you want to use MIC+LINE for voice 
modes, it will stay.
With LINE IN set as the input, the gain adjustment is the MIC Gain control.

You will likely find the best result if you set the SignaLink for high 
level output.  That will give you better control with the LINE IN gain 
in the K3 set for something mid-range rather then using a high setting.

73,
Don W3FPR
