[Elecraft] No mikegain

[Don Wilhelm]

Gerd,

You did not say which microphone you are using.  An electret microphone 
needs bias turned on, dynamic microphones do not.
Did it work before?  If so, what settings may have been changed.

Do not overlook the microphone itself.  Does it work on another 
transceiver?  Does another microphone work on the K3?
If you have a variety of microphones, *most* Kenwood microphones are 
dynamic type and will work with the K3 (bias off).  Elecraft microphones 
need bias turned on.  Other microphones may or may not have the correct 
mic plug pinout to work with the K3.
Heil microphones are a mix of dynamic and electret types, and must have 
a Kenwood adapter to work with the K3 (all Heil microphones are not the 
same, one must specify the complete model/type).

73,
Don W3FPR
