[Elecraft] FT8 Driver Issue

[Don Wilhelm]

Lee,

In addition to the MIC Gain and the WSJT POWER slider (misnamed because 
it is just another audio level control, you also have to deal with the 
computer soundcard audio level.  It should be set for Line Level instead 
of speaker if that is possible, and that is one of the 3 audio controls 
that you have to manipulate.

Go to my website www.w3fpr.com and scroll the left column to the last 
article and click to see the article dealing with this problem.

The K3S manual recommends setting the drive at 4 or 5 bars to avoid distortion by the ALC.. When I use the audio output slider set the drive level, the display jumps from no bars to 6 bars, and vice versa, and nothing on between.  I have also tried using the MIC level and the POWER slider in FT8 with the same results.  The software id decoding fine. Can anyon suggest what the problem might be?
