Mike,
Start your investigation simply:
Look at the deflection on the ALC meter. If you do not have 5 to 7 bars
flashing on voice peaks, you are not driving the audio enough.

I just set up to operate in the 6 meter contest and after no contacts, trying
with two different microphones (first the Elecraft mic, then a Heil mic) on the
front panel, a check with a local said he only hears white noise when I
transmit. I am missing something. I am transmitting into a 2 element quad. Both
the K3 meter and Daiwa meter shows 1.2 SWR and Forward power out varies with my
speech. I switched radios to Icom 7200 and I am well heard.
