K3 - FM deviation

[Edward R Cole]

I've had complaints my FM signal is low in audio (which implies low
deviation).  Mic gain control is inoperative in FM mode (turned up to
60 with no change).  I checked CONFIG: FM DEV and it is set to 5.0
KHz.  It can be raised to 6.0 but I haven't changed it as that seems
not the proper way to raise transmit audio.  I'm guessing this
setting is fixed at the factory.

I have no RF level issues: signal is full quieting on FM.  Even
yelling into the mic with my lips touching the mic makes no
difference (according to the listener).

Is there an epot to control this or hard pot inside the radio?

Same here. It's an issue that was raised many moons ago and I believe that
Elecraft made some software changes to address this. In my humble opinion,
it's nowhere near right yet.
