[Elecraft] K3: Low audio on 10m FM transmit...

[James Sarte]

OK, now this is weird. I went back into the menu after checking the manual
as the manual states that the FM deviation setting is normally 5.  Before
changing deviation to 3, I remembered the settings available were 1K to 6K
and the selected width at that time was 1Khz.  Now my menu options are only
2Khz to 6Khz?!?!?

 

Am I going bonkers here, or is my memory failing me?  Is it 1-6 or 2-6?

Woops. never mind.  Had FM deviation set to 1.  Bumped it up to 3, and am
now getting beautiful reports.

Dear group,

 

Can't seem to figure out what's going on here.  Have the stock Elecraft MH-2
mic.  According to other stations and through monitoring on an HT, my audio
sounds very low.  Increasing mic gain does nothing to change it.  I normally
set mic gain to around 4, but even when pushing it to 30, audio still sounds
low at the receiving station.  What am I missing here?
