[Elecraft] K3 TX challenge

[Jim Cundiff]

Hey All,
I could use a little direction here please!
    I had a bad mike from the factory, an MH2 ordered with radio. After 
working with Scott @ Elecraft, he sent me a replacement. I had nothing 
out of the first mike.

Second mike plugged in and radio placed in test mode.
Successfully went thru procedure to set up mike, ALC and CMP levels 
using the speaker and not headphones.

Here is where things went sideways. After exiting test mode (TX arrow 
not blinking), I was able to make a good QSO to S. Carolina (5/7) BUT my 
own TX is coming out of my speaker just like when in test mode! RX audio 
is blocked and I hear me. I am sure something I did is causing this. Any 
ideas on what is going on? Thanks for any help. 73.

In His service,
