Your Transmitter
Adjusting Microphone Gain, Compression, Tx Bandwidth
20
•
Turn off compression, turn power down/amp off, connect a Dummy Load
•
Set Tx bandwidth for SSB phone consistent with band conditions
•
2.4 KHz if operating in crowded band conditions
•
Can open to 3.0 KHz for rag-chew operation in a lightly filled band
•
Set ALC so that you have ~50% deflection on the peaks of your audio
•
Test with close-in speech to microphone and a little louder than normal
•
Its OK to use a modest amount of speech compression but
don’t overdo it!
•
Avoid compression if there is significant background noise
•
Adjust to compensate for variations in voice, moving away from mic a bit
•
With proper adjustment, compression should not be detectable by other stations
Mic Gain Knob or Multi-Function Knob
