HiOne thing I just thought of  is that perhaps Skype is muting the sound when you hit a key. Try to set the mic input on mute and see what happens.73 Tom Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Original message From: KE8G Date: 2018-10-24 4:43 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Elecraft

Hi All, I apologize in advance, as this is going to be a long post. I will try to include all the relevant information, so not many questions are left unanswered. I recently bought a K3s and got rid of my K3 rigs. The K3s is located at my Ohio QTH (remote radio) and hooked up properly to the

This article is for the KX3, but the TX EQ settings are from K3 users. I don’t know if the DVR trick works on the K3, but it is worth trying. https://observer.wunderwood.org/2015/09/09/transmit-audio-and-compression-with-the-elecraft-kx3/ wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org
