The instructions in the K3 manual are quite clear, and give great results. To set them most effectively, set the TXEQ for your mic and voice FIRST, with no compression and enough gain to get some ALC indication. In general, you want to turn down the bass (the lower bands) so that you're not wasting power on breath pops and the parts of your voice that don't contribute to intelligibility. Have a good listener tune you in with a wide IF bandwidth, and tell you when you have it right. THEN do a final setting for the mic gain, and dial in some Compression. For competitive audio, keep compression between 6 and 10dB on peaks. More gets nasty. 73, Jim 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
