Up 'til then his audio was muffled, muddy, and a mess. You may find it easier to get additional talk power, without distortion, by leaving the processor off and utilizing the 400-2600 Hz transmit bandwidth, perhaps with a little additional mic gain thrown in. I am a new owner of an FT-950 and found that the stock MH-31 mic with no processing and no EQ (only because I have not gotten that far yet) has been getting unsolicited audio reports of "excellent, great, outstanding" etc. The FT-2000, FT-950 and FT DX 5000 have a three-band Microphone Equalizer to enable you to adjust and enhance the transmitted audio very precisely.

Set Menu #64 and 65 (TX Carrier Shift) to +.05 to +.10. Do not confuse this with receiver bandwidth response. Option 3 frequently sounds the best, but each option does different things to different voices. For best results please consult your manual. I use the RA200 with an Icom 7300 and get great results with no "dog house" box. FTdx101MP/D EQ Settings ( Bert PA5HR ) - YouTube Note that power output meter will show lower power as bandwidth is increased; this is normal, reflecting lower power density per Hertz of passband.FT-1000MP Series (including Mk-V and Field)Menu 5-9: 6.0Menu 7-7: Set SSB-T to 300-3100 Hz for DX/Contest, 100-3100 Hz for more fidelity.Menu 4-4: Set to OFF while setting Menu 7-7 to your liking, then try each selection (1 through 4) while listening in a separate receiver to see if any of these improve your voice signals characteristics.

Don't give up on this incredible piece of technology.
KG4TGP. The iCOM 718 is a terrific value. Second, are the low-gain models (earlier designs like the IC-735/745/751/761/765/781, non-Pro 746/756, all 706 models, and the 7000, 7100, and 7200. A narrow receiver bandwidth impairs your ability to get the full picture. Firstly, a 15 dB boost or cut is HUGE. I would like to hear from anyone that has duplicated this process.

The K3 also has provision for direct connection of the mic cable from a Heil Sound headset, with no adapter required (! Read the operating manual, especially on page 32, and then try out the many available bandwidths and equalization possibilities. FT-100Menu 16 (MIC EQ): Set to OFF initially. Third, are the modern designs: 746Pro, 756Pro series, iC-7600, 7700, and 7800. The coupling capacitor is NOT installed in our new high-impedance GM VINTAGE microphone, as this model should never be used with ICOM low impedance inputs. Bob Heil introduced me to Parametric Equalizers back in the '70's when he built some custom concert sound racks for my band in his magic little factory in Marissa, IL. That will be good for starters. I know run the same headset on my PROIII with the same results. Of course, the voice signal is AC, so DC flows one direction while AC flows the other direction all on the same cable. www.k0bg.com. #1.

There's no reason it wouldn't work with the Yaesu FT-950,or any other radio, as well. There is no "perfect" setting, it's all subjective. With the trend to ever-smaller living spaces RF feedback rears it's ugly head. Try mic gain at 30 and processor at 25 and talk about 3-4" from the mic. This is going to reduce that significantly. The popular Traveler boom set works exceptionally well with the IC-7000 and IC-706. Several Kenwood rigs have DSP and other settings that will allow the operator to adjust the response of the radio to your speech input from the microphone. RE: Setting Up The YAESU FT-950 TX EQ; I used my Yaesu FT950 with the MD-1 mic which I had set on position 2. Kenwoods exciting new TS-590S transceiver promises to be popular among active operators throughout the world. The assignment numbers are different but the levels are the same. SO SO important and this + 8 dB boost at 2400 3000 HZ is the good starting point for that. Once he taught me how it all worked, my main challenge was trying to explain to my bandmates where the dozens of "sliders" had gone from our Main and Monitor EQ feeds. Oftentimes OFF is best.Menu 8-9: Generally, you dont need to touch this one. Since I can't actually HEAR your transmitted signal, these are just starting points.

THE BASICS: YOUR OPERATING PREFERENCES AND YOUR MICROPHONE. The AD-1-I and AD-1-IM include blocking capacitors that prevent the phantom power supplied by the radio from affecting the performance of the dynamic elements.
