Is there a way to make the P3 auto adjust it's scaling?
I have a mcHF kit that I built that has theis feature and it's quite handy?

I use the Yamaha CM500 from Amazon about $58 with my K3. I bought the Koss
SB45 from Amazon about $23 shipped. I think the Koss is every bit as good
as the Yamaha. I haven't used the Koss on the K3 but expect it would
perform equally. I use it on my Icom 7300 and get nothing but good reports.
I use an older Heil pro set with HC-5 element on my K3, with great results.
One nice thing on the K3 or K3S is that you can plug the two 3.5mm plugs
directly into the back of the rig- no adapters needed, and no cables
hanging out the front of the radio.
However, my advice to anyone is that the most
When you turn off the switch on the meter you are cutting power.
When you turn of the PS you are probably watching the PS Caps bleed down to
zero (hence the fade)

Bruce,
Check the mic element in that ProSet - the type is normally printed
where the microphone boom attaches to the headphones.
If it is an "iC" type, you need to turn bias on.
If there is a capacitor in series with the AF line in the MicroKeyer,
then setting bias on in the K3 will not be ef
I rewired mine so that it is always on when connected to external 12V, and
the switch just switches the battery into the circuit for portable
operation. I
was always killing the battery by forgetting to turn it off when I powered
down the station, this takes care of that problem!

Stan,
That orderly shutdown process only applies to the K3, K3S, KX3, KX2, P3,
PX3, KXPA100, KPA500, and KAT500.
The rest of the gear that Elecraft produces can be powered on/off with
the station supply with no ill effects.

I'm asking because the tiny slide switch seems rather fragile and using

What mode do you have the K3 in when you're trying to do this? It needs
to be in DATA-A mode. Good info on setup for digital modes here:

I have used the Elite Pro with success. The dynamic mic element
version, with bias turned OFF.
For an alternate suggestion, many use and like the (inexpensive) Yamaha
CM-500 / Koss SB-45 headset, with it's electret element.

Bruce,
The most probable answer is that you are not driving sufficient audio
into the K3. You must have 4 bars solid on the K3 ALC meter with the
5th bar flashing - this is the NO ALC point for the K3, ignore the
internet advice which applies to non-Elecraft transceivers.
The fact that you
I’ve been working in vain over the past few days to get my K3 up and running
digital modes (other than CW). Several years ago I had things working with a
Navigator interface and my 756 Pro II, but it got fried by a lightening strike
and I’m just now trying to get things working again.
