When on MENU:MIC SEL , and with it set to FP.L or FP.H, tapping 2 should toggle the bias on and off. 73, Guy. On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 9:40 AM, Jan Erik Holm sm2...@bdtv.se wrote: Before I hassle elecraft support maybe someone on the list can come up with something. Just put together a new

Jim, The MIC SEL menu item is found in the main menu. The entry in the CONFIG menu is MIC BTN which is for the :MIC BUTTONS - that is the up and down buttons if they are present. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/16/2012 11:11 AM, Jan Erik Holm wrote: OK Guy, Well if it works from the rear bias must be

Yes MIC BTNunderstand, it´s off anyway. MIC SELyes I know. I was looking in all menus for the bias since I was thinking that it was the culprit but didn´t find it. However since it works from the rear panel connector and not the FP connector can it still be the bias? /Jim --- On

You have not yet mentioned tapping 2 with MAIN:MIC SEL on to toggle the bias. The bias for FP.x and the bias for rP.x are independent and set by tapping 2 when you have either of them selected. The bias on the front pin should toggle on and off with the menu display going back and forth between

Sorry I didn´t. Yes I did do that and then bias turns on of course. Thanks for the advice, I didn´t know about that command. I never ever use bias with my microphones. In the first place I was thinking maybe bias was on as default, this wasn´t the case with my first K3. Indeed when tapping 2 BIAS

Jim, Yes, I understand the language problem. Sorry that I cannot communicate in your native tongue. There is an independent bias setting for the each microphone jack. Since your microphones do not require bias, make certain bias is set not turned on (indicated by a blank in the MIC SEL menu)
