Leroy,

Have you considered that you may have a problem with your computer and 
the soundcard (Signalink) output?

There is always a tendency to blame the transceiver, but the fact that 
you do not have the proper number of ALC bars indicates that there may 
be a problem with the volume of audio being fed to the K3.

Look at the "speaker" output level for the Signalink on your computer. 
The slider should be set to at least 75% of full.

73,
Don W3FPR
