Folks, Thank you for all the replies regarding the clipping and a thank you for the replies regarding proper setting for the Mic. That's just what I was looking for.
Unfortunately my transmit issues remain. I'm beginning to think there is perhaps something wrong with the radio. I was on 40M today, checking out the results on my grounding efforts to see if that made a difference. Many came on to tell me I indeed still have a problem. One person said the audio effect gave them "goosebumps" so there's something definite going on. One common thread was my signal seems to be cutting in & out. Although I don't hear it in the headphones, it must be rendered in a later stage. A few said it sounded like RFI. I'm stumped... However, when following Don's suggestions on adjusting the ALC level and then compression I noticed something unusual & I think, not right. When I have the headset on, monitor on a high volume setting & I key the mic, I hear a very clear and loud low reproduction of the ambient noise in the room, almost like a low frequency hearing aid. The moment I adjust either the mic or compression, that character completely stops and the background sound in the headphones becomes silent. It is exactly to me, like hearing a rumbling background noise with Bose QC-15 headsets and then flipping the power on and hearing the background drop out to be replaced with ambient silence. I've tried this multiple times and it is always the same, it's as if turning compression or MIC engages some noise cancelling from the K3s. My voice changes from somewhat bassy albeit clear, effect like talking close into a condenser mic, to the brighter, non bassy settings I have adjusted the TX EQ to be. Does this sound familiar? If so, what might I look at? Thanks again, Gary KA1J ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
