[Elecraft] [K3] How much compression for contest use?

[Pete Smith]

I am setting up for a couple of phone contests this fall.  With the 
Yamaha headset through a sound card to the line input on the K3 I am 
currently setting compression at 22, which gives me occasional 
excursions on the CMP meter to around 8.  A small sampling says it 
sounds fine but "a little thin."

What CMP setting do you use in contests?
