yeah, about 9 for me as well using the cheap 505 hand mic from TT will  
send the ALC led flashing like mad

No, that is not normal. I run my Scout mic gain between 9 and 10
o'clock. I get plenty of audio and good reports. The Scout seems to do
best with low Z dynamic mics. If you are using an electret mic, make
sure there is mic preamp  voltage from the Scout on pin 4 of the mic  
jack.
