Well, Mostly because Gary at Elecraft told me he monitors power output since the ALC meter isn't driving right and that is what he recommends. That is difficult in the field on batteries because the target power is variable based on voltage. Also, the meter defaults to ALC when adjusting mic gain making it hard to see power while adjusting since this can't be overriden.
I'm also concerned about having a dirty, overmodulated signal, so I'm staying conservative. As near as I can tell, I may be okay with a setting as low as 10-12, and 1 on compression but others are saying they are driving with as much gain as 40+ and significanltly higher compression. This seems to be a pretty broad range for everyone with identical equipment to be properly adjusted (understanding minor differences may occur with different voice characteristics) I haven't had a chance to coordinate a contact with a local friend and I have difficulty listening to my own voice in a second receiver. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-MIC-COMP-Setting-Metering-tp7562532p7562590.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
