[Elecraft] [K3] Front/Rear MIC Input Level

[Don Wilhelm]

Werner,

Do you have the menu MIC SEL set to FP.L or to FP.H.  With the lower 
output of the HC-5 element, you will need the higher range.
If that does not allow you to obtain 7 bars, I would suggest a note to 
K3support at elecraft.com.

73,
