Subject: audio problems?

 

Hello all, CW is working fine with K3 #716 but trying SSB there seems to be
a problem possibly related to the headset/boom mic I had been using with
other radios.  If I turn the monitor up enough to hear anything in the
headsets I am getting a huge feedback through the radios speaker.  This
happens whether using PTT or VOX so I don't know if the problem is operator
error, set-up error (most likely) or headset/mic problem.  Just wondering if
others have had this problem and what the solution is.  Perhaps the Proset
K3 would be the best solution.  Another thing is that the audio gain control
has no effect on phone level when connected to the rear panel phone jack and
wondered if this is normal.  TIA, de gary, kd9sv
