>I was at ARRL Tuesday and operated W1AW.  I used the MK V.  It seemed to be a nice rig and the filter selection that I have on my MP is something that I would miss on the MK V.  However, I noticed that they had the Yaesu mic ( the fancy one) on a boom and they had set the mic gain to almost 4 o'clock.  Is this a normal setting?  I have the Goldline and my mic gain is set to about 10 o'clock.  I set mine up using another receiver and I just checked the MK V at ARRL using the ALC meter.  No complaints from the many QSO's but just curious.  I did like the larger knobs on shift, width, notch etc. and not having the little knob for contour.  If you are running barefoot the 200 watts is nice to have but as I always said, most everyone has an amp.  Even a modest amp can be had for little $$.
