[Elecraft] Xmit Audio Problem

[Mike Flowers]

I get good reports out of an old Kenwood MC-60 desk mic.   I had one kicking
around from my Kenwood days and noticed it had an 8-pin mic connector, so
thought I'd give it a shot.   Worked great with some minor adjustments.

Make sure the bottom switch for 'Mic Amp' is in the out position.   A bonus
is the 'Down - Up' rocker switch that is great for fine frequency
adjustments.

I use this macro to set up the K3 for the MC-60:

MN053;DN;DN;MG009;CP014;ML010;TE+14+14+08+06+08+10+12+00;MN255;

I suspect I need a different mike than the old heil-pro headset. But then, I
better ask first.

The symptoms are that is I don't appear have any punch. I use cmp and mic
and get the ALC bars in the right places according to the manual.

I have adjusted TXG up to 3.

Still, when I am transmitting SSB, the output is barely indicating 10% of
(A) a HARD whistle pr (B) CW

And I have mic at 60 and cmp at 40.

What is a "Great" desk mike for the K3? Anyway, I am tired of the boom mic
so wanted a desk mic and this may be a good reason.

thanks
