John,

Have you set the mic gain properly?  If so, it should not clip.
You can do it in TX TEST mode so you do not bother your ham neighbors.

First set the Compression to zero (important).
Then set the MIC GAIN to produce 6 to 7 bars on the ALC meter - that is also important. After that, set the compression as you desire. You *can* do that by listening to the MONitor if you are using a headset.

Do it all in the order specified, and you should have good audio. Just playing around with the gain and compression settings may not produce the results you want.

My guess is that you are running with too much compression (and perhaps too little mic gain), and that could sound like 'clipping' on the far end of the QSO.

I adjusted the TX equalizer per K9YC's recommendations and listened to
myself and I thought that I had this resolved.  Today I received unsoiled
complaints that my audio was clipping at the top.  One person even sent me a
video. I tried changing the high EQ settings and the mic and compression
settings and the issue exists. I tried the back mic jack and was told that
it may have made an improvement but the clipping still exists.  Reducing the
power had no effect.  For those that asked, FLTX SB is FL1 (2.80)
