[Elecraft] Poor Transmit Audio USB

[Mike Scott]

I have had a pinched audio problem similar to the issue you mention.
Recycling the power cured it for me in the past. I have the 5 pole stock 2.7
KHz filter with proper offset. I never attempted to redo the reference
oscillator.
The issue usually came up for me right after downloading new firmware. My
pinched audio has not returned for months but was quite common maybe six
months ago.

	I have a K3/100 ser. # 1485 that has very thin audio, my first guess
is that the filter went bad or is very far off original freq. On upper
sideband it has only highs and sounds very restricted (pinched) tried
adjusting the transmit BW settings. On lower ssb my close friends state it
sounds ok, but not great like the old ts 2000 sounded like. The audio is so
restricted that it is very difficult for someone to understand what you're
saying. 

	Will call factory on Monday morning and see what they say, in the
mean time anyone else have this kind of problem. ?
