Yes. Smart sound engineers have learned to simply tap or scratch a mic to figure out if it's on and working, then speak into it to get a handle on quality. Blowing and whistling are bad ideas -- blowing causes overload of input stages on the low end, whistling on the high end. When I want a simple quick check of my rig tuning after changing bands and/or antennas, I'll simply tap or scratch the mic and watch for output and low SWR. And if I need to tune it, there's the XMIT button or even a long grunted "One." :) 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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
