[Elecraft] K3: Poor sound on FM

[Bruce Beford]

Hello Michael.
Two things come to mind-
1.- I assume you have the 13 KHz FM filter installed, and that is the one
you have selected for FM mode.
2.- Have you checked the FM deviation setting in the CONFIG: FM DEV menu
item? It defaults to 5 KHz deviation, which is standard in the USA. I
believe much (or all) of Europe uses a narrow channel spacing, requiring a
lower deviation?

Perhaps one of these suggestions may help you.

Here, my FM receive audio is fine.
73,
Bruce, N1RX
