[TenTec] Jupiter AM audio clipping

[Richards]

I am not an expert on radio circuit design, but I
am sure it would help if those who do had more
information about your rig and station.

What microphone are you using?
	What type of mic - electret condenser or
	dynamic type ?
How far away from it do you speak?
What is your mic gain setting?
What is your mic monitor setting?
What EQ settings (if any) are you using?
Is there a TX bass roll off setting?  If so, what?
Are you using VOX?
Is there a speech processor on the rig?
	If so, what setting?
Are you using external processing gear,
	(e.g., EQ, noise gate, compressor, etc.?

Maybe more aspects are relevant, but these
are just a few things that come to mind that
might possibly affect microphone input levels
and operation of ALC.
