Dan, Yeah I saw that update is out there, but it is just for CW Keying
bandwidth, nothing else updated.  Thanks!

  Jason,
 I think I saw the same when I was playing with the FTDX-3000. I
could not
 figure out the logic behind the meter. There is a firmware and dsp
update
 dated 9-14-2014 have you tried these?

 Hello all, I run my FTdx-3000 at 100W output, with a Heil Mic, and
 have tweeked my EQ and Para EQ settings. I am running 25 Mic Gain,
 and 45 on the Proc. I have talked with several guys that know my
 voice and they report this sounds great. I also constantly get
 reports that my audio sounds great from DX stations. My problem is
my
 ALC is usually running over the top of the ALC line on the meter. It
 is different on most bands, but always over the line. On 10M and 15M
 it is higher than most. I have tried to back the Mic Gain and Proc
 down to get ALC down some, but I have to pretty much turn my Mic
Gain
 to 10, and Proc to 15 to get it to dip much at all. Plus when I turn
 both down, I see my output power drop 10-30 Watts. My optimized G5RV
 is about 40 feet from the radio outside. I am not sure what is
 cuasing the ALC to be a little high. I have turned back all the EQ
 sittings to defaults and turned off Processor, and Mic EQ, ALC drops
 close to peak ALC line, but audio really drops off, as well as a
drop
 in power out. 
 I put a MFJ inline Isolator/ current bulan inline at the antenna
 this past weekend, but that changed nothing. 
 Ideas, Comments???
