Hi Werner:
With respect to your second problem, the mic high / low setting is working on #202 with latest firmware. It is easy to demonstrate if you set the MAIN:MIC SEL to high (rP.H in my case), set compression to zero(0), and MIC gain to zero(0), and the METER to display the ALC. Tap the XMIT button to key transmitter, speak into mic and increase the MIC gain to produce an ALC indication of 4-5. Then reset the the MAIN:MIC SEL to low (rP.L in my case). Now, without changing the MIC gain or the compression, tap the XMIT button and speak into mic. I see no ALC action at this time. This clearly indicates that the high / low setting is working.

today I observed a problem with my K3 ATU.

on some bands the ATU does not find a fix.
I connected the transceiver to a 50 ohm 100 Watt dummy load.

I tried on
1850 - no fix - rattle rattle - display says: - . - with Xmit: 1.0 - 1
3700 - quick fix 1.0 - 1
5330 - no fix  but when I press transmit it shows 1.2 - 1  1.0 ATU in bypass
7080 - no fix   with xmit 1.0 - 1
10142 - no fix  with xmit 1.4 - 1 (tuner inline - 1.0 - 1 tuner bypass)
14142 - quick fix 1.0 - 1
18068 - quick fix 1.0 - 1
21000 - quick fix 1.0 - 1
24890 - quick fix 1.0 - 1
28000 - quick fix 1.0 - 1
50750 - quick fix 1.0 - 1



second problem: I have the impression that the switch from Mic high and low level does not work anymore. I observed a low power output (about 40W max) with Mic high sensitivity, and no change when I switch to low. Front and Back panel is the same.

I hope I can get a hint where to look.
