[Elecraft] K3 - FM deviation

I've had complaints my FM signal is low in audio (which implies low 
deviation).  Mic gain control is inoperative in FM mode (turned up to 
60 with no change).  I checked CONFIG: FM DEV and it is set to 5.0 
KHz.  It can be raised to 6.0 but I haven't changed it as that seems 
not the proper way to raise transmit audio.  I'm guessing this 
setting is fixed at the factory.

I have no RF level issues: signal is full quieting on FM.  Even 
yelling into the mic with my lips touching the mic makes no 
difference (according to the listener).

Is there an epot to control this or hard pot inside the radio?
