[Elecraft] K3 Problem

[Keith Heimbold]

I operate my K3 with compression of 14 and mic gain at 34-38 depending on conditions and environment (contesting, DXing or ragchewing). With the Yamaha MDE-100 microphone I get good audio reports. Guess each microphone has slightly different settings for optimum Audio quality.
