I continue to get complaints my mic audio is too low on FM. So today I ran the mic gain to 60 and they said it only slightly better, so I advanced deviation to 6.0 which is too wide for normal deviation, still light audio reports. I have no problem on SSB with my Heil HM10-5 desk mic set to gain=20 and had no problems using it with my FT-847 on any mode.
So I wonder if there is an internal mic gain pot that can be adjusted for FM? One person offered that maybe the radio was selected for Narrow Band FM, but I do not see any place in the configuration menu that has such a selection. Of course 15-KHz FM used to be referred to as NBFM when the standard was 30-KHz. But I'm guessing the current term refers to 12.5 KHz. Anyway is there a way to adjust this? I prefer to keep my mic gain set to 20 so I do not inadvertently splatter all over an HF band because I forgot to reset it. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-QRT, 1296-?, 3400-?
