Low received audio on FM is often a sign of too narrow deviation. Check the config menu for the FM deviation I think it is shown as FM DEV but check page 58 in the manual. It should be set to four or even five. If it is a much lower than four that could be the source of your low received audio reports. Increasing the mic gain will ensure that whatever the maximum deviation is set for is achieved but it will not increase the deviation has that set point and only cause likely audio distortion.

Dear group, Can't seem to figure out what's going on here. Have the stock Elecraft MH-2 mic. According to other stations and through monitoring on an HT, my audio sounds very low. Increasing mic gain does nothing to change it. I normally set mic gain to around 4, but even when pushing it to 30, audio still sounds low at the receiving station. What am I missing here? 73, James KC2UEE (soon to be K3JPS) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
