I'm no expert, but there's definitely a reinforced feedback loop in there somewhere. The no_talking file makes that obvious. Remember that you can wire the PTT signal to the back panel too (X2-11) if you do decide to split the audio and PTT signals from the mic. Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Syste

Guys, we haven't found a mic yet that doesn't have sufficient gain to drive the SDR. The key is in the "setup". During Field day we ran two SDRs with Heil headsets, despite the contest nature we continually got unsolicited " great audio" reports. I will be publishing a paper in the near future th
