[Elecraft] Help setting up digital

[Wes Stewart]

I have also been disappointed with the internal sound card in the K3S as 
compared to just using the internal sound card in my Lenovo laptop with my 
original K3.
There is natural interaction between the K3S level (mic) control and the sound 
card level but it's a hair triggered operation to get the ALC set.... and 
regrettably the VOX and Anti-VOX gains are along for the ride.  Get the latter 
set for RTTY and they can be off on SSB because the "experts" think that the VOX 
takeoff point should be after the mic gain control.  (If you surmise that I 
disagree with this, you are correct.)

> Thanks for the particularly timely  reply, Don.  I spent the past weekend trying to get my K3S set up for RTTY with MMTTY.  My old K3 (474) worked just fine for years.  Using Data A, AFSK, 45 baud, I can cleanly copy RTTY and Transmit via VOX, but, for the life of me, I cannot get the ALC set to "4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing".  I can get it to set to 3 bars solid or 5 bars solid but nothing in between, no matter how sensitive I try to be.  Seems I recall someone else with this exact issue on her a few weeks ago.  I have spent this morning trying to find that post as I'm pretty sure his problem was solved.  I am setting the ALC via the Mic (Line) Gain.  I checked that Data A had reduced Compression to ZERO and TX EQ flat.  Any suggestions?
