John,

We'll have an update shortly that fixes CONFIG:TXG VCE. I find that a 
setting of 1.0 to 1.5 dB in this menu entry is needed with some 2.7 or 
2.8 kHz crystal filters. The goal is to make voice peak power closer to 
that of CW or TUNE. You can then fine-tune the level using the PWR 
control.
