I used for the first time the FM mode on 2M during an EOC Area Exercise this 
weekend.
The K3 has the internal 2M transverter along with a 13 KHz FM filter in the 
main radio (VFO A)

All were having much difficulty with my transmissions due to low audio 
output.
RF out was not the issue with full quieting received by all.

The deviation is at the factory setting of 5.0.
Equalization is also untouched from the factory. It appears to be a flat 
line in Menu.

Mic is a Heil Pro-Set Plus switched to Full Range.

No issues with 2M SSB in VHF contests.

Where do I begin to look to fix this FM Mode issue?
