[Elecraft] Re: K3: Just hooked up my mic, no SSB out

[Don Wilhelm]

Joseph,

Do you have the menu microphone selection correct?  It is the main menu. 
  Go to the MIC SEL entry and turn VFO A knob until it says FP.L bIAS. 
That is what I use for my MD2 and the MH2 should be similar.  I run with 
the Mic gain set at about 37 and the CMP set to about 24.  You could use 
FP.H bias, but your mic gain would be quite different than mine.

73,
Don W3FPR
