Simon,
My guess is that you are driving too hard if the ALC bars indicate more
than 5 or 6 bars on a regular basis.
Since Lyle is the designer of those parts, I would tend to believe what
he is saying.

So when I'm in DATA mode how do I ensure that I am not using any ALC?
A good data mode operator monitors ALC all the time as using ALC can
often result in a wide signal.

"In this case, the ALC meter display is acting as a "VU Meter" and is
being used to help you set the Tx audio path gain correctly. It is
not showing you how much you are over-driving the PA. This is why
you can set it up in Tx test mode, when you are not transmitting any
RF at all. "
Additional information can be found in Rev D of the K3 user's manual
on page 32.
