Hi James, I installed firmware 4.17 then went back to 4.14 yesterday. What I noticed today is that I had to change the mic gain, but in the opposite direction of what you did. I am using a Peltor headset fitted with a HC-4 capsule, and I used mic gain around 20-22, compression 23, no bias, gain high to get 5-6 ALC bars (with compressor turned off, as manual states). Today I had to put mic gain at about 10-11 to have 5-6 bars. I don't know if something is related to upgrading to 4.17 and then back to 4.14, and I don't think it's worth resetting the whole rig, but I had the impression that something more has changed somewhere.
