ALC shows only in TX mode. For digital modes, the manual says to set 
audio drive from the computer to the rig so that ALC reads 4 bars 
flashing 5 when transmitting. Digital modes should use the LINE Input. 
The correct audio drive setting is a combination of computer output gain 
and Line Input gain. When in Digital modes, the Mic Gain knob becomes 
Line Input gain. In general, computer output should set at least 6 dB 
below 100%.
