I use my CM500 on 'RP.L bias' with mic gain set to around 12-15 and compression less than 20. I get good audio, and good power out. it just plugs right in the real panel jacks. My TX EQ is set to -16 -16 -16 +3 0 0 0 0 (I think this is right).
Could you explain why you are going thru a sound card to the LINE IN on the K3? I never considered this approach, and am wondering if the regular mic Gain/COM controls even work on this input. How about the TX EQ, does it work on this input as well? Curiouser and curiouser. ...bc Quoting Pete Smith <[email protected]>: > I am setting up for a couple of phone contests this fall.
