Problem solved. It appears audio drop-outs occur on FM if the squelch knob
is fully clockwise. By backing off on the squelch a bit I'm able to copy
fine. However I'm not sure the behavior is entirely expected since my $150
Yaesu FM rig doesn't exhibit this type of behavior with the squelch
I'm running MCU 4.03/DSP 2.60 and I noticed audio drop outs when listening to
2m FM. The audio drop outs appear to occur on accented syllables and may
coincide with the FM deviation peak. I've transmitted to the K3 using a
small handheld and noticed audio drop outs when speaking loudly into the
Could you have the squelch set too tight? That
would result in the symptoms you describe and
isn't unique to the K3.

Ken,
I tried adjusting the squelch, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
Wayne suggested that I contact Elecraft directly. Mark, AD5SS, suggested to
try k3supp...@elecraft.com for official elecraft support in the future.
Sorry to bother the mailing list with what is probably a one off
Hi Alan,
When you do finally figure out the cause, I hope you'll post your
findings to the list. Almost no one has one off problems. If it
happened to you, chances are good that it has happened or will happen
to someone else, and this email reflector is one of the first places
most
Alan,
This is certainly the first place one should ask a question such as yours.
Sometimes you learn how to fix something without having to trouble K3
support!! If that's not the purpose of this reflector, there's far too much
noise to put up with on it, hi. Ask away, and PLEASE share what

Mark,
I hadn't pasid attention to that thread, but most likely, Wayne is

Yes, only at Elecraft can you get a response from one of the owners of
the company. It is one of those things that makes Elecraft the top
Yes, Wayne Burdick replied off-list - truly outstanding support!
I double checked my config and FM DEV is set to 5 kHz and I'm pretty sure
the filters are set correctly: FM filter set to position 1, 13 kHz, 0
offset, 0 gain.
I can reproduce the issue on several repeaters and on simplex using a
Please DO post any resolutions.
I've not been happy with the way the squelch behaves with the 2 meter
module.

The K3 seems on the narrow side for NFM, which is good for weak signals and
inherent to its max. DSP bandwidth.
On loud (and wider) signals this *can* lead to clipping of high frequencies
and the squelch reacting on this with a mute action. In Europe this is less
of a problem since we switched
