Is this a new K3?
Have you made any changes to the radio since last time you used it.
I have the same setup as you, and my MIC gain is set to 17 and the CMP is
also 17. Mine works great.
Very strange...

Do you have another mic? Even a mic for a computer would be worth trying.

I am trying to get my K3 set up for SS SSB. I am in test mode. I have

Hi Joel,
At the top of this page:
http://www.tigertronics.com/sl_wirebm.htm#Elecraft
they show how SignaLink numbers the RJ45 pins. So, if you match the
wiring in the table for the K3 to the numbering scheme for their
RJ45's you should be fine.

I don't know the SignaLink line designations, but from common
designations, I believe you have the Line In and Line Out connections to
the K3 reversed.
SPKR would be the output from the SignaLink, and should go to the K3 LINE IN
MIC would be an input to the SignaLink and would connect to

Pin 2 -> GND

The K2 was designed for low receive current consumption, and as a result
the audio power had to be limited. With the K2, that was a common

As usual, my fingers are faster than my brain. If you TURN the VFO knob
until the dial reading is 7.0 MHz, starting from an adjacent band, the dial
reading may be 7 MHz but the K2 filters, etc., will still be switched to the
original band.
Use direct frequency entry to put the whole K2 on 40 mete
Just a hunch, John, but you can tune to 7.0 MHz without the K2 being in the
40-meter band! If you the VFO knob to 7 MHz with the K2 on an adjacent band

sitting on the original band.

I have ear-splitting volume from a pair of non-amplified speakers from Tivoli

They are plugged into the SPKRS jack, not the Phones jack.

Responses have been unanimous that a supplemental preamp beyond the
internal K3 one is unnecessary.

The K3 preamp will be more than adequate, Jim. I made an rx loop based on
G3LNP's refinement of the K9AY (see Oct 2010 QST) and find that no external
preamp is needed.
