Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Manual Error? Software error?
I recently acquired a Kenwood MC-90 desk mic from a "for sale" list posted
here. It's a great microphone, but with a VERY low output level. Even with
MIC GAIN cranked all the way up to 60, it wouldn't move the ALC indicator
unless I literally shouted into it. (Yes, I had selected "FP-H on the mic
setup.)
Then I found the following in the K3 Operating Manual, page 52:
For the front-panel mic only, tap [3] to turn on an additional gain stage.
Use this only with very low-output mics. An apostrophe will appear after the
H , e.g. H ’ .
I rushed to try that. Result: "N/A".
But....while fiddling around trying to find out why the [3] button wasn't
doing what it was supposed to do, I more or less accidentally tapped the [7]
button, and the magic apostrophe appeared after the H. And most
importantly, I now have enough amplification for the Kenwood mic to be
functional.
It would seem that there are only two explanations for this:
1. The manual is wrong.
2. Bad firmware.
Anybody know which answer is correct? I have no way to tell.
