Howdy!
I am using the Heil headset with the K3, and have the mic connected into the
rear
panel (the front panel connection was having RF distortion) with the HIGH bias
level.
The Mic gain is less than 5 and the compression is 10. The ALC is never
out of
the indicated range.
With the TX GATE turned ON, I get reports of the audio sounding slightly
distorted
and there being "crackling noises". I can hear these crackling sounds in
between
syllables when I turn up the monitor loud in the headphones. All the crackling
noises disappear when I turn off the TX GATE. Do I have something adjusted
wrong, or
is it just natural to have the crackling noises and distortion when the TX GATE
is
on? I would prefer to run without any distortion, but my loud blower is right
behind
me and it is strong into the mic like a jet plane in between syllables without
the TX
GATE. Do I need to choose between the two evils?
I would appreciate any guidance. Thanks! VY 73, Lance
