Jim,

Are you setting your audio correctly to produce 4 bars with the 5th bar 
flickering on the ALC meter?  If not, you will not transmit properly.
See the article on my website www.w3fpr.com.  Scroll down in the left 
column to the last article and click the link.

Ignore the recommendations on the internet and many data mode 
applications to set the power to max and adjust the power with the audio 
level - it just does not work that way with Elecraft transceivers.
