[Elecraft] New KX3 - No SSB output

Happy Thanksgiving to all! My Thanksgiving Eve was great when the UPS man walked up and delivered the long desired KX3. I spent the next few hours putting the kit together and it felt like it went together without a hitch. I then decided to make my first QSO and wanted it to be DX so I worked

What are you seeing on the ALC meter? What Mic? Sounds like you have no audio drive. Check mic settings. Do you hear your audio in the monitor? -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/New-KX3-No-SSB-output-tp7610849p7610850.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing

Keith, Do you have the mic plug in all the way? Remove it and plug it in again. Did you turn on bias? The MH3 needs that to be on. Do you have your mic gain set to a high value? If so, turn it down to a low level - set compression to zero initially. Then bring up the mic gain until you see 5

I‘m not sure what you mean by “mic setting” at 3-5. Have you tried setting the mic gain higher? I keep mine at about 25 for the MH3. Works fine. Grant NQ5T K3 #2091, KX3 #8342 > On Nov 26, 2015, at 9:01 AM, kb3...@comcast.net wrote: > > Bob and others, > > The ALC meter is not moving

RE:  I have the Mic setting at 4 (manual recommends 3-5).  Page 15 of the manual recommends the MONITOR set to 3-5, not mic gain.  It also says "Mic gain for the Elecraft MH3 us typically 15-25." I suspect your mic gain if set at 3 to 5 is too low. MarkKE6BB
