Hi All,
I have not done much SSB so I am not sure what is happening, but this does not seem correct so I will descibe what is happening.
When I turn on my K3 #2080 for a MARS net I need to have the MIC gain set to about 25, and the Processor set to 15 for my HC5/Heil Proset to get about 95 Watts out initially, which I feel is excellent. However, after a few minutes I can turn down the gain and still get 95 Watts out. After about 10 minutes I have the MIC gain down to 8 and I am still blasting away at 95 Watts. I feel I could go even lower.
Its funny though that at any gain level I always get a good report. Its like the MIC gain is really not critical and the rig knows how to adjust for your voice for best signal.
I thought that maybe as I get used to speaking I start talking more forcefully and need to cut the gain down but I've consciously tried to avoid this, and the minimum apparent required MIC gain just seems to drop after a few minutes.
Anyway the rig apparently works great like this. I just thought that this condition was not normal.
72,
Steve, W2MY, AAR6CX
