K3 SSB help

I am trying to get my K3 set up for SS SSB. I am in test mode. I have
selected CMP/ALC. CMP is set to 0. The MIC control has no affect on the ALC
reading it is always at full scale. I must be missing something. Any help?

Re: K3 SSB help

What mic?

Which mic input are you using front or rear. If rear are you in the mic
input or line in?

Re: K3 SSB help

In reply to this post by Joe K2UF

Thanks to all who tried to help me with this problem. Everything that you
guys suggested I either made the change or already had the settings correct.
Nothing corrected the problem. The ALC reading is always full scale even
with MIC and CMP both set to zero. I sent an email to K3support but don't
expect to hear from them until Monday. May have to pull the old MP1000
field out of moth balls for the SS SSB. Guess I should have tried to set it
up earlier this week (UGH!).

Thanks again to Mike, Greg, Mark, Bill and Jim for their help

Re: K3 SSB help

Do you have another mic? Even a mic for a computer would be worth trying.

Re: K3 SSB help

Is this a new K3?

Have you made any changes to the radio since last time you used it.

I have the same setup as you, and my MIC gain is set to 17 and the CMP is
also 17. Mine works great.

Very strange...
