Bill,
Then the next logical thing to do is check the filter offset - look on
the filter and set that offset in the menu (or K3 Utility.
The offset is either positive or negative, so if it is marked with a
minus sign, did you perhaps interpret that as a dash?
I can't think of anything else that might give you good CW transmit but
not SSB.

Bill,
You said you can adjust the ALC and CMP levels, but you did not tell us the
level you adjusted them to.
The proper way to adjust is to set the compression at zero to start, then
increase the mic gain until you see 5 to 7 bars on the ALC meter (do that in TX
TEST so you don't bother fellow hams). Then adjust the compression to the
level you desire.
Yes, that's exactly what I did. Using the Heil Pro-Set with the HC4 element, and the mic
gain in the "H" range, I end up with a mic gain setting of about 9 or 10, and a
CMP gain setting of 25 to get around 10 dB of compression.
If you can't get the 5 to 7 bars (7 bars on peaks) then you do not have enough mic gain.
If it is a Heil dynamic mic, you may have to set the mic gain range to "H" in
the menu.
No problem getting bars on the meter.
