Don, Your numbering was backwards from what I used, but I translated the numbers from the other direction (made 8 = 1, 1 = 8, and the others in between to match) and got the same pin designations and wire colors. However, I took (your numbers) pin 2 and pin 5 and grounded them to the shell together (pin 2 shows as mic ground in the schematics so I figured I'd ground it to the regular ground also). After looking over your numbers I moved the regular ground (your pin 2) to ring 2. This gave me the same results as before. If I crank the power up I can get some deflection in the power meter, but I can't get the ALC meter to budge on max mic gain and max compression. I just tested the output with a pair of headphones on. I took the compression off (0) and as I increased it the audio volume from the monitor circuit got louder. Just out of curiosity - what are some others using for microphones and what settings are you finding work for those microphones? My experience with other rigs is that if the mic gain is too high the audio distorts, likewise if the compression is too high it distorts. Here I have both gain and compression max'ed out and seemingly not getting enough. That doesn't make much sense to me, but I know the KX3 is a different rig. Is that perhaps a change that can be made in software? Or am I at the limits of the hardware?
