When in mode LSB Mic doesn't adjust mic gain. VFO B displays "TN1 x.x"
when I turn the Mic pot. Seems odd.

Had the same 'issue' ... it is a layer 8 issue... ;o)
Try CONFIG => 2 TONE ... check this to be OFF Thanks to Gary from Elecraft for this info ! After that you will be able to adjust mic gain.

Thanks Thomas. Gary set me straight on that one too. I guess it is
easy to accidentally change some settings without realizing it.

Doug -- K0DXV K3/100 #77 OK, time to be brutally frank about the K3. I love the rig and it's shaping up to the best radio I've ever owned. I still haven't even tried out any of the buttons to the right of the afx! Just got done wringing out the mic process. BUT, what don't I like ( or more correctly what would I like to see changed. A) It's too easy to bump the VFO A dial while in the Menu Modes and change an off to an on. It took Microsoft 20 years to build a half way functional 'UNDO' into their O/S and Apps. I'd at least like to have a glimps at what changed when I went back to normal op after accessing the menus - maybe a quick list of config items with a * indicating recent changes. Even if it's a download to printer it would be good to get a list that shows recent or last settings on one page - something that could be scanned when things don't look right. I know this may be a reach, but you gotta ask. B) It'd be nice to have the speaker selects on the 'tap once' menu list instead of buried down in the CONFIG list. Can a toggle between headphone only and headphone +spkr be created? I haven't started into the macro creation phase yet, and I have discovered some buttons which can do a hot change without going into menu, so maybe it's just something I missed earlier. For that I would apologize. AQl WA6VNN #31 **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.

I know this may be a reach, but you gotta ask. When in ANY MENU selection, if you press [DISP] you'll get a terse HELP discussion of the current functions and it's default setting. Won't take you back to where you were, BUT it WILL at least allow you to easily find the starting point again. >B) It'd be nice to have the speaker selects on the 'tap once' menu list >instead of buried down in the CONFIG list.

You could place that function on one of the (2, if I recall) available PFx (programmable functions) keys. 73, Tom N0SS _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I'll ask Wayne about moving SPKR+PH to main menu. But accessing CONFIG is just as
easy as accessing MAIN. Its just a hold instead of a TAP. Remember though we don't want many items in MAIN. You can also program that item to one of the 10 programable buttons. An UNDO function is something on the list already, but not a very high priority right now. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 K3#0009 On Wed Nov 28 1:52 , [hidden email] sent: >In a message dated 11/27/2007 10:14:01 P.M.

I second the vote to move it - I think its something you probably might do
(when I've got my K3 I'll know) once or twice a session - but not enough to use up one of the prog function keys (I'm waiting for KDVR3), I expect I'll run out of keys, in which case I may be asking for a multiplier key :-) I'd prefer not to use the CONFIG menu except for config and to avoid it as much as possible in everyday use. I personal think the config menu should be kept for that - configuration as opposed to operation.

So far I've programmed three of the large M buttons to do the following: M1 -- VFO B->A M2 -- SPKR+PH M4 -- send my call Just one press does these things. They can also be programmed with different HOLD functions. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
