K3

[Scott McDowell-3]

Hello
I have a brand new K3/100/F that I am having a problem with.
I really think it is more the operator than the transceiver.
It works fine in CW mode, but has no output in ssb mode.
The transmit led comes on when the  mic button is depressed
but has no audio output. I feel that something is not set right
on the front panel, but have no idea what. Any ideas would be
appreciated. I had the idea that a factory built model would
work straight out of the box?

First, check microphone gain. For the beginning turn it to the half scale.

Second, in the CONFIG menu (see manual) select correct microphone input. K3 has front panel connector and back panel connector. In addition, if you use condenser microphone (or electret) select bias to the microphone.

If that doesn't help, just for the kicks, check your microphone with other radio.

Igor, N1YX

If you are using the MH2 mic, make sure that the microphone bias setting
is turned -on- in the main menu. (Main: Mic Sel;  tTapping '2' in this
selection toggles mic bias on/off)
See Mic Gain / Bias on page 28 of the K3 owners manual.
