Gil,
You did not say what kind of microphone you are trying to connect.
If it is an Elecraft mic, then you will need to turn on the bias - it is
turned off by default.
If it is a Heil, are you using a Kenwood adapter (and no bias)?
If it is some other brand, have you re-wired the microphone plug to
match the Elecraft pinout?
Do you have the mic gain turned up enough?
We need a little more information before we can advise properly.
73,
Don W3FPR

OM's;
I'm at those last procedures of making all the settings for my K3,
and just added the microphone to the package. So far, I've found that
I can make the red LED light up for the PTT line indication, but
there's no LCD bar graph showing that my voice is causing any
modulation. I'm finding very little of anything which can steer me in
the right direction for a button push to activate anything else, which
leads me to two questions - (1) do I need to double check the entire
mike circuit, make sure no one goofed on a connection, and (2) am I
barking up the wrong tree?
I seem to note that there is a need for the transmitter finals and
100 watt amplifier to be "taken through a setup procedure" for each
band, thus I may be missing a step here someplace. This rig is exotic,
a far different idea from the K2, thus the longish learning curve.
Any ideas before I start getting frustrated and pull hair, cuss a
little, and look for the DVM?
Thanks, 73's
