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

[Bruce McLaughlin]

Low received audio on FM is often a sign of too narrow deviation.  Check the
config menu for the FM deviation I think it is shown as FM DEV but check
page 58 in the manual.  It should be set to four or even five.  If it is a
much lower than four that could be the source of your low received audio
reports.  Increasing the mic gain will ensure that whatever the maximum
deviation is set for is achieved but it will not increase the deviation has
that set point and only cause likely audio distortion.

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?

 

73,
