  OM's;

  I'm at those last procedures of making all the settings for my K3, and 
just added the microphone to the package. So far, I've found that I can 
make the red LED light up for the PTT line indication, but there's no 
LCD bar graph showing that my voice is causing any modulation. I'm 
finding very little of anything which can steer me in the right 
direction for a button push to activate anything else, which leads me to 
two questions - (1) do I need to double check the entire mike circuit, 
make sure no one goofed on a connection, and (2) am I barking up the 
wrong tree?
   I seem to note that there is a need for the transmitter finals and 
100 watt amplifier to be "taken through a setup procedure" for each 
band, thus I may be missing a step here someplace. This rig is exotic, a 
far different idea from the K2, thus the longish learning curve.
  Any ideas before I start getting frustrated and pull hair, cuss a 
little, and look for the DVM?

Thanks, 73's
