Yes, and watch the ALC level while you are doing it. I found that you can increase the compression and not trip the 5-7 bars of ALC, but it will sound terrible. Stay below 10 dB of compression and under 5 bars of ALC for the smoothest sound and lack of splatter. FWIW.

Follow instructions in the K3 manual to set the meter to read compression. Then follow the instructions in the manual for first setting the mic gain without any compression, and then set the compression with the compression control. When you talk, you'll see the compression bouncing around as you talk. It will start sounding bad when it goes above 10dB on the hottest voice peaks. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
