Giulio, You did not say what microphones you were trying to use, only that they were 'dynamic'. Are you attempting to use Pro-Audio microphones? If so, check out the information provided by Jim Brown K9YC at http://haminterfacing.pdf/. Do your microphones have adequate output? Do they need Phantom Power? There can be many reasons you are not having success.
How does the audio sound from the K3 monitor. You said you did the evaluation on 144 MHz, but what mode? If it is FM, then many have reported issues with 'thin audio' on FM, and Elecraft is currently working on improvement for that condition. How does the K3 sound with the microphones on SSB? 73, Don W3FPR Giulio Pico - IW3HVB wrote: > I'm trying to use a dynamic mic with the K3 (KIO3 MIC INPUT high gain) > but I can't be satisfied with the modulation (I'm listening with another > radio on 144 MHz using an XV144 with the K3). > If I keep the compression level below 15 the mod is awful.
