[Elecraft] KX3: ALC on digital issue

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeff,

Connect a dummy load rather than the antenna and try it at 10 watts.  If 
the problem is not present, you can blame it on RF-in-the-shack being 
picked up by the audio input or your computer.
If you do have an RF problem, the cure is in the antenna field. Better 
common mode chokes to keep the common mode current at bay.

(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.
