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

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.
