[1000mp] AM with the 1000MP

Sat, 7 Feb 2004 22:41:27 -0600

Well, I've done a couple things and I noticed a difference and one thing
that didn't.
1. I set the internal carrier control to about 40 watts and then I will
adjust the front panel control to 25 watts when I go to AM.
2. The menu 5-9 setting was at "6kc"
3. I set menu 4-4 to 4
4. I turned on the filter on the mike and set the "high emphasis"  - on.
5. The filter on the mike also helps (at least with my voice) without using
dsp, which I am figuring the menu 4-4 setting only affects.
Sure appreciate the help.....
Bob.
