[CQ-Contest] MP & Heil mics

[Cqtestk4xs@aol.com]

I think it's important to consider that everyone has a different voice 
"fingerprint"  What works for one guy will not for another.

I think the consensus is for the mic to be around 9 and the processor to be 
around 10, which is what I have.  You can literally spend days playing with the 
8-9 settings.  When monitoring on the 1000, the audio sounded different if I 
listened on the Nar 1 filter than on the Normal setting.  The way I set mine 
up was to listen on a second radio with no antennas connected and adjusted so I 
received an S-9 signal.  Like most contesters I was aiming for punch but not 
a dirty signal.

My settings for rx and tx:

R-LSBCAR  -.150
T-LSBCAR  -.200
PROC-LSB  +.050
R-USBCAR -.150
T-USBCAR -.200
PROC-USB +.050

I have a somewhat bassy voice and these settings were used in SS.  I had 
unsolicited good comments on the audio and only one unidentified station complain. 
 As always your mileage may vary.
