[Elecraft] Help! K3 God-awful transmit audio

[Rick Prather]

Bob,

I have one question.   When you say:

" - I even read the K3 manual and tried adjusting the mic gain from zero on up to the point of ALC kicking in (note: compression was off at ALL times"

What do you mean by "kicking in"?

Do you mean the ALC meter just starts to move or do you mean the proper amount of activity which is 5-7 bars?
