That depends on your voice and how you place the mic. It also depends on
the Mic Gain setting in the menu. My rigs are set for Low mic gain.
Never set these parameters by the numbers on the knob readouts. Set them
watching the display of ALC and CMP. These settings should ALWAYS be set
in this order:
1) Set TXEQ as desired. I recommend maximum cut of the three lowest
bands, 6 dB cut of the fourth band, 3-6 dB boost of the two highest
bands. Tweak the 4th band and the higher bands based on reports from
good listeners, who should be listening with their IF set wide.
2) With compression OFF (set to zero), set the mic gain for ALC of 5-7 bars.
3) Set CMP so that the display shows about 10 dB of gain reduction on
voice peaks.

What Mic Gain and Compression settings do you use with the CM500 headset?
A friend said that he uses MIC=40 and CMP=20, but Howard at Elecraft
thinks that's far too high.
I found that I can get the correct ALC response using Mic=11 and CMP=20.
