Hi Paul, One has to deal with reality... while you might consider a soft talking person not properly trained, more than a fair number of users don't have a booming voice. In a larger number of cases a little bit of added audio compression/limiting helps resolve the low (higher/soft pitch)

Norm, Good catch on the tuning caps- they're not indestructible. You lucked out on finding a suitable replacement tuning cap in an ICOM. As for the photos, perhaps you could post them in the Group Photos section for all to see. I want to see the photos, but my experience with Sinclair products
