[Elecraft] K3S TX Noise Gate

[Richard]

When I listen to myself in the monitor while setting Tx EQ and compression, I hear the fans in the background, so I thought I’d try the Transmit Noise Gate.

I was a recording engineer, so I know what a gate is and what it should sound like. 

When I follow the manual instructions on how to access it through CONFIG TX GATE, how to tap 1 to turn it on and off, and how to use VFO A to adjust it, nothing happens. Zero. There is absolutely no gate action, no change in the sound as I run the adjustment from one end to the other.

What might I be doing wrong?
