Good afternoon all,
 
As many of you heard yesterday on the TenTec net, I have a question about my 
708A microphone used with my Orion II.
I have to set the mic gain at 70 on 20 meters and 90 on 10 meters in order to 
get the red ALC light to twinkle and them only with my mouth on the mic. The 
manual suggested setting is 60.
My 706 makes the ALC blink at a mic setting of 40 on all bands. I have over 30 
years of acting experience in amateur theater so I don't have a problem with 
projecting my voice.
I do know there is an internal mic gain (it was set at 2.0 and I increased it 
to 2.5). I am a little leery of using that gain too much because of the warning 
in the manual.
Does anyone have a suggestion before I contact TenTec?
 
 
Dennis, N4MUS
