Troy,

I'd first check the MIC SELection (front or rear or line in) to be sure it is correct for your setup, then MIC BIAS to be sure it is on or off as required by your microphone.

Then set the MIC GAIN for 4-5 bars of ALC. If you are getting this but no transmit power, contact support. If you are not getting 4-5 bars of ALC and the selection and bias are correct, check your microphone and/or try the other mic jack (front or rear as appropriate). A common "computer headeset" can usually be used with the rear panel mic jack, and normally will require bias to be on.

My K3 wont transmit on SSB. It would when first purchased (recently, assembled, 
used from friend). I’ve been using it on CW but wanted to check into a SSB net. 
I’m very new at using the K3 so hoping for op err. Been through the manual and 
settings and can’t figure it out. An external PEP wattmeter shows an occasional 
1-2 watt jump at first keying the XMIT then nothing. Still works fine on CW. 
Any guidance would be appreciated.
