OK Barry N1EU, I just set these parameters to your values:

mic: 30
cmp: 20
TX EQ .20 +5
TX EQ .40 +2
TXG-VCE = 2.0dB

Now if I push the PTT I get the sound of a 747 taking off and full scale 
deflection on the power meter... without even talking!

Per ON4WIX's advice I then tried:

CONFIG:TXG VCE: +2.5 dB
Mic gain: 15
Comp: 16
TX EQ: as flat as a pancake

Now I can PTT and it remains silent... until I say 'test', then the jet 
takes off again. As if someone taps a large sheet of metal. My last on air 
report talked about 'metallic audio', which is about how it sounded with my 
original parameters too.

So not quite there yet...
