Has anyone else noticed similar? I still haven't gotten a definitive answer, and am curious to see if others had experienced the same.
Also, I've noticed that FM always requires a bit more mic gain to achieve the same level of ALC action as opposed to sideband. Can anyone confirm? 73 de James K2QI On Sat, Nov 6, 2010 at 7:54 PM, James Sarte <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings Elecrafters, > > I previously posted a question to the group about mic gain settings in > conjunction with the Elecraft MH2 hand mic.
