Elecraft K-3 SSB and AM Squelch

Don Rasmussen
Dave,
 
I emailed K3Support and they say that the AM transmit is 100%
 
Are you sure it's not a setup issue?
 
Any more than 10w will be a problem, as well
 
any compression on AM, not good, and AM is
 
very Mic Gain and microphone sensitive.
 
What say? !!!
 
Firmware version 2.38 (Sept 2008) included compression on AM, since then
there has been none. I used to call into the local AM net but it's too
embarrassing now with everyone commenting on how poor the K3 sounds.

----------------
Speaking of AM, how is everyone setting the K3 up for AM now? I used to
have
good luck with it many Firmware updates ago. The last time I tried it,
several upgrades ago, I was not pleased with it on tx.

Elecraft K-3 audio controls

Milt -- N5IA
All,
 
I am wanting to change the audio gain controls for the main RX and the sub RX so that they perform in the common audio gain and balance control configuration.
 
I am unable to find the directions to affect this change.  Can someone indicate the location of the instructions in the manual.
 
Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
 
Milt, N5IA

In the CONFIG menu change SUB AF to BALANCE.
