Pete,
I'm using a CM500 that is a year or so old. It replaced one that finally
fell apart and I was tired of gluing it back together.
When I replaced the headset, I did not need to make any adjustments!

way into

some time ago. CM-500, mic and phones plugged into proper jacks on rear,
preamp on, bias on, mic gain at max, mic right at my lips, and I still have to
talk very loudly to get any response out of the ALC meter. I

This may sound like a silly question, but are you sure you have the plugs in

AFAIK this problem has not been reported on the K4 reflector and I know other
folks are using them.
