I have noticed the PEP power on both my PowerMaster and my LP-100 meters to
show around 50 watts in SSB mode. Lyle says this is being addressed in the new
firmware that very soon is to be released. I am looking forward to seeing my
peak reading meters showing approximately 90 watts on peaks
That's good news as my 'Worry Beads' are nearly worn out :-)

I disconnected all my outboard audio gear on the K3 and connected
an Array Solutions Powermaster Meter and dummy load directly to
the K3. With the K3 set to 120 watts my keydown RF output on
20 meters reads 116 watts.
I connected a stock hand mic that came with my Kenwood TS-2000
to the front

The K3 manual (rev C) shows 8v on pin 6 of the mic connector. See page 13.

Hi All,
I've been watching this thread and wondering if there truly is a
problem. It seems to suggest there is, and Elecraft says they are
looking into it with a firmware update pending.
What I suggest is that everyone wait for the firmware upgrade. I know

There is currently a known problem which is being worked on. An easy way
to see the problem is to set the K3 power level at 40 Watts then
transmit using Olivia 500/16, the power level peaks around 100 Watts and
shows the peaks quite well on the K3 RF output scale.

I see it and it states this:
The K3 8-pin microphone connector is wired the same as the K2 using the
Kenwood pin-out.
The pin-out may be close to Kenwood's, but it is not the same. I literally

Right, based on the diagram, it is not 100% compatible with Kenwood.

That statement *is* true - however it may be misleading for those not
familiar with the K2 wiring for the Kenwood microphone. Pins 5 and 6
are *not* wired to the microphone configuration header in the K2 for a
Kenwood microphone (except for those Kenwood microphones which have

The radio works fine. There is nothing wrong with using the Kenwood mic. I

Unfortunately there is no one crisp answer - one must know the
particular microphone that he has in hand.
There may be a difference between a Kenwood (branded) microphone and a
Heil microphone with an adapter for the Kenwood (or there may not be -
it all depends).
