Re: [Elecraft] [k3] Mic Gain: Option 7
Yes the ref to 3 is a long overdue edit. I have used 7 to work with my Heil HM12 in front panel. Was unaware it doesn't work for rear jack. CM500 plugged in there, no need. ...bc Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Sam Morgan wrote: >Page 20 K3 Owner's man D10.pdf > >MIC >MONO; hi- or low-Z >This jack accommodates an electret or dynamic >mic.

Re: [Elecraft] [k3] Mic Gain: Option 7
Page 20 K3 Owner's man D10.pdf MIC MONO; hi- or low-Z This jack accommodates an electret or dynamic mic. Use MAIN:MIC SEL to select the rear panel mic (RP). Tap 1 to turn on Low or High mic gain range. Tap 2 to turn bias on/off (see pg. 28 for recommendations based on mic type). For the front-panel mic only, additional microphone gain can be enabled by tapping 3 . Use this only for very low-output mics. page 52 K3 Owner's man D10.pdf MIC SEL Mic/line transmit audio source, mic gain range, and mic bias. Source selections: FP (front panel 8-pin MIC jack), RP (rear panel 3.5 mm MIC jack), and LINE IN (rear-panel LINE IN jack). Tap 1 to toggle between .Low and .High mic gain range for the selected mic. Tap 2 to turn mic BIAS on/off (turn on for electret mics). For the front-panel mic only, tap 3 to turn on an additional gain stage. Use this only with very low-output mics. An apostrophe will appear after the H, e.g. H’ . only place I find tap 7 in the manual is under FLx BW on pg 55 also mentioned on pg 24 however when in the MIC SEL menu for the front panel mic taping 3 gives a N/A result taping 7 *WILL* give the desired mic boost for the front panel mic taping 3 or 7 gives a N/A when rear mic is selected I just checked in the ERRATA for the K3 Owners manual and it's not there either looks like there needs to be an editing job in the manual ;-) On 3/13/2014 7:40 AM, bill conkling wrote: And tap 7 for an additional 10db of gain!

[Elecraft] [k3] Mic Gain: Option 7
I'm trying to setup a set a Radio Sport headset, with the M350 Electret microphone. The mic is connected to the K3 rear panel mic jack. The Arlan instructions recommend using "Option 7" for +10 DB of additional Mic Pre-amp gain for close-talk mics. How do you set "Option 7"? What menu is it in?
