@ Kent, > No more than 5 bars of ALC, nor 3 bars of CMP. That's about where I set it from around page 5 in the manual. I doesn't show up very well with the change in voice as I talk but I've tried to keep it to the left of the first large markers on the CMP & ALC graphs
@ Matt, Yes, I need to find someone to help me that way. Don't know who they are yet, don't get on SSB enough to know a lot of the people close-by. What do you mean the fixed gain set to RP.H? And thanks for the replies, I'll get this right sooner than later!
