I get good reports out of an old Kenwood MC-60 desk mic. I had one kicking around from my Kenwood days and noticed it had an 8-pin mic connector, so thought I'd give it a shot. Worked great with some minor adjustments.
Make sure the bottom switch for 'Mic Amp' is in the out position. A bonus is the 'Down - Up' rocker switch that is great for fine frequency adjustments. I use this macro to set up the K3 for the MC-60: MN053;DN;DN;MG009;CP014;ML010;TE+14+14+08+06+08+10+12+00;MN255; - 73 de Mike, K6MKF, W6NAG, Secretary - NCDXC, IDXG, ADXG, RRC #933, K3-P3-KPA500-KAT500 Addict, Maui -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob KD7YZ Sent: Monday, May 26, 2014 11:40 AM To: K3 List Subject: [Elecraft] Xmit Audio Problem I suspect I need a different mike than the old heil-pro headset. But then, I better ask first. The symptoms are that is I don't appear have any punch. I use cmp and mic and get the ALC bars in the right places according to the manual. I have adjusted TXG up to 3. Still, when I am transmitting SSB, the output is barely indicating 10% of (A) a HARD whistle pr (B) CW And I have mic at 60 and cmp at 40. What is a "Great" desk mike for the K3? Anyway, I am tired of the boom mic so wanted a desk mic and this may be a good reason. thanks -- Bob KD7YZ AMSAT LM 0901 http://www.qrz.com/db/KD7YZ www.denstarfarm.us/LGD ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
