Coming late to this thread - Phil, don't use the preamp. You do not need it. Open up the mic base and wire around it. It can be a source of RFI. My MIC level is 29, the impedance switch on the mic is at 500 ohms, and I get good audio reports on my MC-60A. The up/down buttons are useful on occasion.
