Cutoff=300, SP=7, Mike =~40.  For chatting, I set a wider BW (3000) on  TX, 
SP=5,
and mike gain more like 65.  I get "nice signal" comments from  contest
stations, during the contest!  Beat that.  (I also made my own  adapter for 
the
headset.)

         Same here Steve, although I use slightly different settings
for my HC-4 Pro Set.  I believe the following recording was made
by HA5PP when I was using BW 2750, Low Cutoff 170, SP 4 (or
possibly 5), MIC 61.  This is communications audio which works well
for DX-ing, contests or when you simply want yourself to be heard.
I also get unsolicited good reports in contests with this combo.

recording is next to last at the bottom of the page.

         Note that he has me tuned in a little
low at the beginning which is not unusual for
all of us to do when initially tuning in stations.
In fact, I normally offset my TX by +100 Hz in
USB or -100 Hz in LSB when doing S&P in
contests to compensate for the same tendency.
