Tom,
I would use whatever setting works the best; if you are receiving good audio
reports, "leave sleeping dogs lie". If your mic gain is set at something
reasonable (mine is "9"), I wouldn't worry about what is "suggested". Too many
variables with your voice characteristics; if you are calling a "P5" for an
ATNO, you might be speaking a bit louder than working a JA for the 300th time.

Something isn’t racking then because Fred in his K3s book recommends high for
the electrek mic. Per Fred and Heil’s recommendation I am using a Heil BM-10ic
and have the radio set to High with bias and I get good audio reports.
You have me wondering now?
