The real bottom line is to use the indication on the K3 (K3S, KX3 and KX2) ALC meter. If you are driving the voice audio up to the 5 to 7 bars level, that is correct. If it is going higher reduce the MIC gain or switch to the low mic gain setting.

If it is lower than the 5 to 7 bars, increase the mic gain or switch to the high mic gain range.

Tom,

I would use whatever setting works the best; if you are receiving good audio reports, "leave sleeping dogs lie". If your mic gain is set at something reasonable (mine is "9"), I wouldn't worry about what is "suggested". Too many variables with your voice characteristics; if you are calling a "P5" for an ATNO, you might be speaking a bit louder than working a JA for the 300th time.
