[Elecraft] New to Elecraft - help with audio settings

[Walter Underwood]

If the K3 manual is anything like the KX3 manual, it has steps for voice setup. Set everything to zero, set mic level, then the next step. I did this all wrong several times with my KX3, then finally read the manual carefully. Before that, it was random twiddling and no joy.

I collected the received wisdom from the Elecraft list and put together a blog post. Read the manual, then check this out for TX EQ settings. For the K3, you might need the DVR option to do to voice A/B (KDVR3).

CMP settings is 11, MIC gain is 9 and power on the K3 is set at 28watts...  It's now driving the amp up to around 500watts but I get NO readings on the CMP and ALC meters, none.  So I feel like I am missing something.  I'm using the Heil PR781 mic and need to make some EQ settings.
