I cannot get 7 bars on the ALC scale whatever I try. When I whistle I can get
6 bars, but not with normal voice. Power out is 80 W when I whistle, 100W
with tune at full power. Microphone is the Heil headset with HC5 element,
connected to the rear connector with rPH setting.
Do you think there is something wrong with my K3? I get good reports btw.
