[Elecraft] KX3: ALC on digital issue

[Thorpe, Jeffrey]

I've followed the directions in Fred Cady's book and the steps in the fldigi manual for setting receive and transmit levels. (Use the 'tune' button in fldigi, adjust computer output to 4 bars on ALC  meter, keep mic setting where I use for voice - 5) and all seems ok to this point. When I go to transmit however, all bars on the ALC meter come on.
The only thing different is when using 'tune' I have output set to 0 watts. When transmitting it's set to 10 watts. Any ideas?
