[Elecraft] Re: K3: Just hooked up my mic, no SSB out
Still having trouble. It does seem to transmit SSB - I enabled the 2 tone test and that worked when I pushed the PTT. But it doesn't seem that the mic is putting audio into the rig. I'll need to run SSB for field day, I'd also be happy with suggestions on what to do if this mic doesn't work. I have a heil pro set with an 8 pin connector, but that doesn't seem to work either. I have an alinco and icom hand mic that I could borrow. I also have a foot switch. I wonder if I could use the proset by plugging it into the back panel w/ RCA, and a foot switch to key it?

Re: [Elecraft] Re: K3: Just hooked up my mic, no SSB out
Joseph, Do you have the menu microphone selection correct? It is the main menu. Go to the MIC SEL entry and turn VFO A knob until it says FP.L bIAS. That is what I use for my MD2 and the MH2 should be similar. I run with the Mic gain set at about 37 and the CMP set to about 24. You could use FP.H bias, but your mic gain would be quite different than mine. 73, Don W3FPR Joseph M. Durnal wrote: Still having trouble.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: K3: Just hooked up my mic, no SSB out
Thanks Don, Yeah, the bias was my problem, but you don't get it it by moving the VFO knob, which is what got me confused. You have to tap 2 :). 73 de Joseph Durnal NE3R On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 11:13 AM, Don Wilhelm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Joseph, Do you have the menu microphone selection correct? It is the main menu.
