I'll endorse that - sometimes a microphone just doesn't work with a rig - for
whatever reason.
If, however, you are sounding better on 80 and 40 than on 20 through 10 (or
vice versa), check your carrier balance alignment and lastly your sideband
filters.

Peter,
Does it happen in both sidebands? If so, I would try a different mic
first. See if you can borrow as opposed to buy a different mic.
I never had good audio reports (distorted, tinny, etc) on my B twins or
the TR7 until I found the right mic for my voice. I must have bought, tried and
sold 20 or so different mics. BTW my final mic cost me about $5. I built it
out of PVC pipe and an electret mic recovered from an old trimline phone.
Cheapest and best mic I've ever owned.

After more than forty years I have finally got what I was dreaming of
when I was young: a Drake R4B with a Drake T4XB. The receive audio is second to
none, but the tx audio is repeatedly reported to be flat, sharp or tinny. I am
using a Turner +3B microphone with the gain control at 2 o'clock.
All comments appreciated.
