[Elecraft] KX3 No meter indication when transmitting digital

[Tony Estep]

I have been operating with FT8 and WSPR lately. Both use an audio-generated
digital signal just like any AFSK mode. I tune up my transmitter to show
4-5 bars on ALC. Everything seems to work at first, but after one or two
transmissions the display shows only one bar on the left and one on the
right -- and if I move the Mic Gain, all bars disappear leaving a blank
display. The transmit light stays on but I can't tell if I'm transmitting
any audio or not. What's going on??

thanks,
