[Elecraft] SSB transmit audio - Where's the punch?

[Don Wilhelm]

  Tim,

As far as the response of the K3 is concerned, I refer you to Guy 
Olinger's (K2AV) recent posts.  The K3 is a highly configurable 
transceiver, and "Read The Fine Manual" is an important step.  If after 
reading, you have problems understanding the implications, definitely 
ask here on the reflector, and you will get an informed response.

When the questions are more like "tell me how to do ----", I often feel 
like just replying RTFM, because it is obvious that the poster has not 
even cracked the manual and just tried to do special things without 
trying to understand how things work.

The K3 with its default settings is good for the average types of 
operation, but for those who want to "do something special", it is 
important to RTFM first and then ask questions - failure to do that will 
likely lead to not understanding the responses to the questions, and 
further confusion when what is suggested is not what the poster expects.

In other words, vary from the default setting only with a valid reason 
to make that change.  Many changes from the defaults are good for 
certain situations, but will not produce the desired results for other 
situations.

The K3 is highly configurable, but modify the default configuration with 
an informed eye, and see if the results do what you desire rather than 
accepting someone else's changes without question.  I repeat, RTFM is 
important for any modern transceiver with configuration menus - the K3 
is no exception.
