Curt, Tx SSB.This is normal. SSB tx signal from K3 is good but I understand that in the future there will be some improvement (firmware). I have adjusted compresion to 25 and than MIC gain to the point that there is no distortion. That way I can get more dynamic signal (good average power). I'm using external receiver to monitor the audio during this adjustment. Mark
