> Mic gain should NEVER have any influence on Vox gain. Mic Gain should always be adjusted to provide 4+ bars of "ALC" indication on the K3. This indicates sufficient audio level for proper operation of the transmitter, including VOX, CMP, AM modulation and FM deviation among other things.
The VOX system gets its audio signal after the Mic amplifier, so this setting also normalizes the VOX system. Thus, one VOX setting is all that is required no matter which audio source (FP MIC, RP MIC, LINE IN) or microphone you are using. If VOX Gain was not taken after applying Mic Gain, you'd have to adjust Mic Gain *and* VOX gain every time you used a different microphone or other transmit audio source. We have many users who routinely use different microphones on their K3s, so normalizing the VOX system gain was a deliberate system design decision. 73, Lyle KK7P _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
