Me too. Another point about setting levels. The CM500 is a pretty "hot" mic -- that is, it puts out a lot of voltage -- so you will want to use the LOW setting for mic gain (in the K3 setup menu). Once you have done that, AND set the TX EQ as David recommends, THEN follow the directions in the K3 manual to set audio levels. The executive summary of that is set Display so that it reads ALC and compression, use the mic gain to set for a given ALC reading, then set Compression to get 10dB of compression as indicated on the front panel meter. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
