[Elecraft] K3 serial no. 997

[VE7AJJ]

Ordered Dec 23 received June 4.

I very much enjoyed the build and really like the rig but I am having
some issues with the setup.  I cannot even find a mic pinout in the
manual.  Wow, that would seem to be pretty basic information to be
included.  I do have an MC-60 which is supposed to be pin for pin
compatable with the K3 but I cannot get much output swing on the
meter.  I know the PA is working because I have tried it in CW and
lots of output on CW but the out put is low on SSB

I know others have had issues with this but I don't seem to find any
solutions in the archhives.  I wonder if someone with an MC-60 that
has successfully set the rig up could please email me and perhaps
compare notes? I would sure appreciate it.  My emails should show up
at the beginning of this post.  If not I can post it on here.

Also.  I'm wondering what to use to key the amp.  I have an Ampkeyer
for interface.  Does a guy just use the switchable 12 volts for that?

Thanks in advance.
