No VOX

[Dick Frey]

Rear panel mic input, electret mic. Mic+Lin on. VOM shows 8V across mic
element. Tried several mics.
VOX works on CW, not on SSB.   What am I missing? It used to work.
No biggie, I'm a CW guy but FD is coming up.

So bias is obviously turned on. I'm guessing VOX Gain, Mic Gain.

Try putting the K3 into TX mode with the front panel button, talk, and
set mic gain to get RF out, then stop TX and set VOX Gain (short push of
Menu).

For max talk power, set TXEQ with the first three bands max cut, about 6
dB cut of the 4th band, a few dB boost of the top two bands.

Another thought, Dick.

We need to set Line In gain and Mic Gain separately. To do that, we must
be set for Line In to set Line In gain. Check the manual -- I don't
recall if the knob is adjusting Mic Gain in the Mic + Line position or
if we must change to Mic In to set it.
