[Elecraft] ALC adjustment on K3S

[Sid Frissell]

Howdy
Been using my K3s  (S/N 10462) for JT-65/JT-9 and am struggling with setting the ALC.  I am using the Mic Gain control for fine tuning---unbelievably fine.  You really can't actually touch the knob,  you just breath on it or think hard about moving it!   It is the most sensitive control I have ever had to deal with in my 60 years as a ham!  Am I missing something?  Is there a better way to get old bar No. 5 jumping?  KE7K says that's what you do.  I can do it but hoping there's a easier way.  Any help?
