[Elecraft] Any advice, please?

[Walter Underwood]

Yes, and if you are working phone, really follow the “Basic Voice Mode Setup” section. I tried to do it by twiddling knobs and got very confused. Elecraft transmitters work a bit differently than other amateur equipment. The audio drive and power output are independently controlled.

Also for voice modes, I’ve compiled some ideas from this list (along with one of my own) for cleaner mic bias and for TX EQ and compression setup.
