Folks: In order to prevent 'knob twiddling' by unfamiliar ops who like to 'twiddle' knobs of your rig, especially in order to get an INDICATED 100W OUTPUT IN SSB MODE ON AN EXTERNAL (AVERAGING) POWER METER...
The K3 offers a feature to LOCK the MIC GAIN, COMPRESSION, and POWER OUTPUT controls so an uninitiated user can't 'crank up the gain' to be 'louder' (and much more distorted) on the other end... Go to CONFIG | PWR SET and press [1] to lock/UNlock MIC GAIN, COMPRESSION and POWER level controls once they've been 'CORRECTLY' set by the owner! Works just GREAT! We used it last year and it SAVED us from several 'poor audio' reports. 73, Tom N0SS ______________________________________________________________ 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
