Hi Joe:

The PWR Slider in WSJT-X is at the top which is full power.

All Audio Levels in Windows 10 Control Panel are set at 75%.

The Line setting (Mic Gain) is now set at Line 60. That will give me 27w 
output on the K3S when I have it set for that power level, however I am 
not seeing 4 bars on the K3S ALC Meter, all I can get is 3 Bars with 
basically every audio level cranked up in the K3S and Windows 10.

The TX Pot on the MK2 is set at 12:00, I have moved the TX Pot to about 
14:30 position and with the K3S Line set at 20, I get 4 Bars steady and 
the 5th flickering on the ALC Meter.

I have changed the Default device under the Recording Pane in the 
Control Panel from Line (MicroHAM Codec) to What U Hear (Soundblaster as 
you suggested) and in the Playback Pane I have left Speakers 
(Soundblaster as the Default).

Basically I can see is I have changed the TX Audio Pot on the MK2 and it 
has solved my problem. I am not sure why things got messed up up it 
appears that things are back to what I would call normal. I will go 
inside and redo the the levels. I am not sure if I did that when i went 
from the K3 to the K3S, but will check it out.

Thanks very much Joe for taking the time to sort me out. You have a 
great 4th of July weekend.
