Sounds like an ALC issue. Do you have CONFIG:EXT ALC OFF? Also, do you have CONFIG:TUN PWR set to NOR or to a fixed low level? Instead of switching to CW, what happens if you press OPER on the AMP, then press (hold) the TUNE button on the K3? Then immediately try the mic?
Try setting CONFIG:EXT ALC to OFF and CONFIG:TUN PWR to NOR. Then power the K3 OFF and ON using the power button on the radio to ensure that these settings are actually saved (removing power by switching off power at the power supply does not give the K3 a chance to save its current state or all settings). 73, Bob, N6TV On Sun, May 13, 2018 at 1:16 PM, Carl Yaffey <[email protected]> wrote: > 1.
