K3/0 tx audio problem

[Paul DeFelice]

Just received my K3/0 and in the process of setting it up. RX, dual RX and
CW are working great. I can't get any audio on SSB. I have the remote
(K3/100) MIC SEL set to rP.L and the local K3/0 MIC SET set to fP.L . The
mic plugged into the front connector of the K3/0. PTT is working but no ALC
defection. Any suggestions?

Paul:  Assuming that you are using the Elecraft cables - the mic audio and PTT from the front panel Mic connector of the K3/0 is hard wired to the Mic mono and PTT In on the rear panel of the K3/0.  The Elecraft cable then takes those signals to the AUX/MIC RJ-45 connector on the front panel of the Control RRC  (refer to Fig 10, pg 13, K3 Remote Users Manual.   Once the K3/0 and the K3/100 are talking any setting on the K3/100 is reflected on the K3/0 (don't make the mistake of thinking that the K3/0 can be set differently from the K3/100).  So you need to set the K3/0 Mic (which is really controlling the K3/100) to be rPL.  

Good Luck

Hi Doug,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm up and running. I called Elecraft on
Monday and Brandon helped me. What a pleasure to work with the Elecraft
staff. Main problem was that I need to remove JMP1 (default is bias on) in
the control RRC-1258. I did not realize that some mics that don't need bias
will not work if bias is applied. I also had an open RF choke in the PTT IN
line on my K3/100 which was causing PTT issues.

Thanks for responding - much appreciated.

73,
