[TenTec] My Jupiter/Heil Questions.

[Bill Taylor(W4WBT)]

I have used the Heil gold classic mike and the h5 headset with the 
jupiter for almost a year with plenty of gain. Unless tentec has 
changed something in the radio, I have had no problems. My Mic gain 
is at less than 50%. Why the problem?
