[Elecraft] White noise on K3transmit

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Start your investigation simply:
Look at the deflection on the ALC meter.  If you do not have 5 to 7 bars 
flashing on voice peaks, you are not driving the audio enough.

I am missing something. I am transmitting into a 2 element quad. Both the K3 meter and Daiwa meter shows 1.2 SWR and Forward power out varies with my speech. I switched radios to Icom 7200 and I am well heard.
