There's a much easier and much better way to "do it by yourself".
I use a free application Audacity for the process. Connect the K3 to
the computer using the same method as for digital modes. Activate the
K3S in the TEST mode, turn up the MON gain to about 10 and activate the
record mode in Audacity. Record about 30 seconds, save the file and
play it back. Listen critically. Make the adjustments you believe
necessary, and repeat the process until you get it sounding exactly as
you desire to be heard over the air. I find this method is much more
accurate than using headphones and trying to listen to yourself while
talking and listening at the same time. The record/playback process
does not consider the internal audio path between the mouth and voice
and the ears but only presents what goes through the mike and the radio.
A general comment overlooked by most. The mike-to-mouth position and
mike placement is much more critical than many realize. I've found if
one changes the mike-to-mouth distance, looks around the room or the
desk while talking, or doesn't put the headset boom in the exact same
place every time, one will have different sounding audio. Thus it may
sound great one time and not so good the next time.
