[Elecraft] setting bias on rp mic

[David Moes]

Hi

Ok setting the Bias for the mic is easy

Tap the menu button and rotate the VFO b until it displays mic select.   
rotate VFO A to select the mic you are setting either FP or RP     
pressing the "1" (also labeled  A/B), the number is in red,  button will 
toggle between High and Low   (H)igh boosts the mic level and L(ow) is 
no boost    by tapping the 2 (also labeled REV) turns the 5V bias on or 
off. indicated with BIAS on the display

For EQ   just tap the number buttons 1 - 8  to switch between each of 
the eight different EQ frequencies and rotate the VFOA to adjust EQ 
level + or -

The K3 can be a very confusing radio for the new owner and not so new 
owner as well including me..     I would strongly recommend purchasing 
Fred Cady's book "The Elecraft K3 design, Configuration, and Operation." 
   Fred who Frequently posts on the group, has written this book as an 
excellent  expansion on the manual.  It has many hints and explanations 
of the features and functions of the K3 that are easy to understand.   
It has bailed me out many times when I just don't understand whats going 
on. Its only available as a PDF   here is his website. http://www.ke7x.com/
