[Elecraft] K3: Mic setting and ALC question

[James Sarte]

Hello Robert,

I was on 7.175 and SWR is reading 1.2 on both internal and external meters
so I doubt that would be an issue.  I did adjust mic gain bias to low, and
can now move it up to anywhere between 8-10 before it ALC starts to max out.

Maybe your SWR is really high?

Hello group, 

Working phone on 40m tonight, and noticed that I could only set mic gain to
3 before ALC maxed out on the K3's meter.  Is this normal?  I'm using the
stock Elecraft hand mic.
