K3 SSB Speech Compression problem

[Elecraft mailing list]

 

SN 68xx

 

I recent purchase my second K3 on the used market and have been having a
problem with the SSB Speech compressor.  I'm using a foot switch to key the
radio on the back PTT IN and using a heil proset connected to the rear
panel.  I then key the radio and adjust the mic gain and the speech
compressor to the desired level and everything sounds great using a second
radio and the internal monitor.  When I release the footswitch and re-key
the radio to transmit again the speech processing (compression level on the
meter looks correct) but the audio being transmitted doesn't sound like the
compressor is on.  Without releasing the footswitch I touch the compression
level control and speech compression instantly returns into the audio.  If
you raise or lower the speech compression and the radio tracks.  But when
you release the footswitch and try to transmit again the compressor doesn't
come back on until you touch the compress control again.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks for the help.

If you have FAST MONITOR turned on, you won't hear the effects of compression in the monitor after in/rekeying. It's still set. It just isn't playing in the monitor.

I can't turn my Fast Monitor off. Serial # is 71xx, firmware is 5.14, and Tech Mode is on. When I try to change it reads N/A and the Fast does not change. What can I do?

Change to one of the SSB modes. Not Applicable to other modes.
