Still, the adjustment is a bit tricky. A higher threshhold also has loss of softer speech as a side effect. When room-noise and speech approach the same level the gate has a rough time, a common situation in contests/fielddays with people and fan-cooled equipment packed closely together :-) Someh

Thanks for the suggestions about mic presence Jim. Yes, the mic on my headset is set so it is directly in front of my lips - as close as it can be without touching. The problem I have here is that the amplifiers are directly behind me, so the mic is also aiming that direction when I am talki

Hello Lance. In addition to excellent built-in EQ, the K3 TX audio chain has a built-in noise gate that I find to be excellent at reducing or eliminating background noise on SSB. You might want to give it a go. '73 es gud dxing -- Don N4HH > On Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:40:17 +, > Lance Coll

Hello Goran, I use the W2IHY Dual Band Noise Gate with my K3 and am very happy with it. If you only want to adjust the audio spectrum you can always use the built-in TX EQ in the K3. However, I have never bothered to adjust the equalizer inside the K3. My primary goal was to eliminate the
