Lu, Try three things. First, use the Low setting for Mic Gain on the Menu, and then set the Mic Gain pot on the front panel to a fairly low number. Second, set TXEQ for the three lowest bands to their lowest setting (-16). Third, position the mic so that it is below your mouth a bit, so that you're hitting it at close to 90 degrees off axis. There is no proximity effect at 90 degrees to a cardioid mic. Now, tweak the Mic Gain and Compression as described in the manual. I find 10 dB of compression on peaks (as indicated on the meter) is about right for contest operating. For casual operating, you can use less. Compression increases the background noise.
I suspect that the combination of these things will pull your noise down to an acceptable level. 73, Jim Brown K9YC On Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:31:33 -0400, Lu Romero wrote: >Yamaha likes to be operated at some distance from my mouth >for good response ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
