Re: [Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 and ANTIVOX setting
Hi Jim, I'll have to do some more experimentation with the settings. And I may try using the battery pack for bias as N1YX is doing. Maybe that would have some impact. 73, Mike K2MK Jim Brown-10 wrote: The mic in the CM500 is a VERY hot mic -- that is, a lot of level.

That should NOT have anything to do with it. The battery box simply allows you to not turn on bias. There's no good reason to use the battery box with a K3. His settings should be considered a starting point. Everyone's voice (and way of talking) is a bit different. 73, Jim 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
[Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 and ANTIVOX setting
I decided to try the CM500 headset in place of the Elecraft Heil Proset headset. I'm always on a quest for increased volume due to age related decreased hearing. To that end I can emphatically say that the CM500 solves my low audio level problem. The CM500 in the rear headphone jack provides greater audio output then the Proset in the rear speaker jack. So far, so good. I tried the CM500 on SSB today in the 10 meter contest and had occasional VOX tripping when listening to loud signals or loud noise. I'm using the headphones and there is no speaker output. (I even held my breath to be sure my breathing wasn't tripping the VOX). I reduced the VOX GAIN to 17. Any lower and I couldn't always trip it reliably. My ANTIVOX was set at 20 for the Proset so I began to crank it up. It's up to 80 now for the CM500 and appears to have solved the problem. My other settings are: RP.L BIAS MIC GAIN = 10 for 5 to 7 ALC bars Comp = 20 for 10db CMP Has anyone else experienced this problem? 73, Mike K2MK -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Yamaha-CM500-and-ANTIVOX-setting-tp5827199p5827199.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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
