Fw: K3 - SSB levels

[ORIN G. HELVEY,JR.]

        I noticed this same thing after upgrading my firmware to 1.88/1.70. I
have been waiting to see if it was just me, or if someone else is
experiencing it. It is not a big problem, but happens every time I power
down, and then back up. Turning the power knob slightly, and then back,
fixes it.

Hi,

Something else I've been meaning to mention for a while and I've not
pinned down the exact circumstances yet.  Occasionally when changing to
SSB the CMP and ALC doesn't seem as lively as normal.  Just by turning
the
mic gain up a unit and then back to the previous setting i.e.. from 25 to

26 then back to 25 the liveliness seems to return.

I've not noticed if the measured output changes, as mentioned above, not
fully characterised yet but something is happening.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

I have had the suspicion that this sometimes happens, too. I don't use SSB often enough to have hit on the sequence of events that causes it. But having set up the mic gain and compression to give the output I want, I've noticed the meter being less lively than it should, and nothing's changed.

Do either of you guys use computer software to control the radio, perchance? I recently identified a problem where filter settings were not properly being stored or restored when changing bands by software command. Perhaps other settings are getting lost or confused as well.
