[TenTec] RF & Pegasus

[JEFF S JOHNSON]

I checked my Omni-V and the output for the mic is 8.6 volts.    I wonder
why they now supply only 4.5 volts?  Is anyone running a 705 off the
Pegasus with any problems? Perhaps 4.5 is enough to run the 705 from
anyway.  What is the voltage out in the mic jack on an Omni-VI anyway?
