[TenTec] Pegasus mike gain

[Rich McCabe]

Thank you John.

That did the trick... I thought I was getting lots of drive and this would
not fix the VOX but it works great now.

I might have to put a dab of finger nail polish on it though. It is sitting
at almost off and has a hair trigger. I am afraid it will move.

Now all I need to do is find some "real" screws and I will have a decent rig
!

73,

Rich
