Hello everyone. I have a couple questions for you. I have browsed the archives and I was not seeing anything that was helping.
This is a new K3 to me, the guy before was primarily a CW operator. He did not even own a mic. So I decided to buy the Yamaha CM500 headset and was trying to get it all setup this evening. Below is some of the things I have tried. In short, I am looking for the settings you have found to work. I am following the Fred Cady guide that I bought online. I am in the setting up SSB section. I was in test mode. When I was not in test mode I could get the TX light to come on via the PTT foot pedal, the XMIT button and never VOX. I never heard myself in test mode even when messing around with the Monitor, Compression, MicGain, VOX Gain and the VOX Interrupt, Mic+Line (off). I am using the Front Panel, Low, Heil adapter. I tried the headphones/mic on the computer, they sound great and the mic picks up very well. So, with VOX not going off at all. I suspect the mic connection is not getting to the radio. My headphones came with 1/8" to 1/4" adapters. 1 stereo and 1 mono. the mic on the headset is 1/8" and goes directly into the adapter along with the 1/4" PTT pedal. I then have the stereo 1/8" to 1/4" for the audio and that is plugged into the front. I also wasn't sure what to connect it to on the back since there are warning messages near the stereo connectors on the back. I was afraid to mess with anything there. Is it a bias issue? A connector issue? Software setting? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
