[Elecraft] Rear Panel Mic help ple

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Hi Ed,

Something is definitely not right there. I happen to have a PR-781 in
my closet (it's for sale, if anyone's interested - I only use headsets
now). I plugged it into my K3's rear input and configured:

MAIN:MIC-SEL: rP.H
MIC: 10
MAIN:VOX GN: 040

and it works great, with 5-7 bars on the ALC meter on voice peaks,
without yelling.

What are you seeing on the ALC meter? Try without VOX first, and make
sure you're getting those 5-7 bars (use the XMIT button if you don't
have an external PTT source).

Any chance you plugged yours into the line input instead of mic?

73,

    ~iain / N6ML
