[TenTec] RF & Pegasus

[Roy Minuth - KC8CHR]

Hi Jeff,

I looked through the help menu in the Pegasus software and it shows that the
voltage coming out of one of the mic pins to be 4.5 volts. Several people on
the reflector who use the 705 mic on the Pegasus say they have no problems.
Guess I'll have to wait till I get my Pegasus to find out.

73,  --Roy--  KC8CHR
