Bob interesting about RF AF AND MON SETTINGS. I KEEP MY MON @ 20 WITH
MIC@40 WITH HEIL 5 ELEMENT. SP@3-7 WITH NO DISTORTION ON SEPERATE
REC AND DURING QSO-- I WAS AFFRAID OF GARBAGE-- BUT SOUND WAS FB.
SEND PEGS METER. NR IS BY FAR THE BEST I'VE EVER USED --756PRO&PR02,
870S & 2000S. I LIKE BEING ABLE TO ADJUST DEPTH - I ONLY OPERATE SSB &
ALL OR NOTHING NEVER WORKED FOR ME. REC NOW QUIET AS A CHURCH MOUSE --
MUCH BETTER-- BOB I'M WONDERING IF YOU TRIED ADJ CONTRAST? I SET
MINE @ 35 &THOUGHT I GOT A NEW DISPLAY!! WELL I'M NOW OFF TO PLAY
WITH SETTINGS
YOU TALKED ABOUT. TNX RAY W1JUS
P.S. GLAD I DON'T NEED "CLEARSPEECH' ANYMORE!
