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

[Phil Lonzello - WA6LDI]

Gentlemen (Jim Brown, Bill W5WVO & Don W3FPR),

I would like to thank each of you individually for the information you've
provided in order to resolve the issue I'm currently experiencing.  I will
definitely take your suggestions and follow the directions as mentioned in
the K3 manual along with your personal suggestions as well.  

To clarifiy then, I do not need to adjust the ALC setting on the Tokyo
HY-Power linear at all and only need to make the adjustments regarding the
ALC on the K3 itself using the the meter for specific CMP and ALC bars as
suggested.  This should resolve my RFI problems then?

Regarding the Transmit EQ settings, I've adjusted the settings as follows
per the Heil webpage suggestions:  0.05 to -12; 0.1 to -10; 0.2 to -6; 0.4
to -2; 0.8 to +0; 1.6 to +4; 2.4 to +6; and 3.2 to +10.  If you have any
corrections I should make, please advise.

Thanks again for all of your suggestions Gentlemen.

73 for now,
Phil WA6LDI
