The K3 has HI and LOW mic gain settings, and thats more than enough with any decent microphone. 73 John --- On Mon, 10/4/10, Gary Gregory <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Gary Gregory <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] SSB transmit audio - Where's the punch? > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, October 4, 2010, 7:00 PM > Nate, > > Could this be alleviated when using a Turner +3 > microphone. > in the case of a soft spoken operator? > > After reading your post I went and plugged the Turner in > and immediately > noticed a more "punchy" audio.. > > Does this sound right to you?..I am definitely guilty of > speaking too > softly..:-( > > 73's > Gary > > On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 11:24 AM, Nate Bargmann <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > You're absolutely correct, David.
