[Elecraft] No Waterfall Display in FLDIGI when KX3 is in DATA mode

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

Is there any chance that you have not turned the Compression to zero in 
USB mode?
That would give you more bars on the ALC meter when in USB mode as 
compared to DATA A.
Are you certain the DATA submode is set to DATA A?

The receive path (signals on the waterfall display) is a function of the 
KX3 audio gain setting and the soundcard input setting.  Be certain the 
computer soundcard is set to LINE IN and the volume slider is set 
between mid-way and 2/3 of maximum.

That is quite different than the transmit path which is from your 
soundcard output - again set the slider for your soundcard output to 
about 2/3 of maximum and try again for 4 to 5 bars on the ALC meter when 
in DATA A mode.
