[Elecraft] Reduced gain/efficiency in SSB

[Ignacy]

Indeed the mic gain was low.

I useed CM500 in back and then for testing moved to HC5 in front.
CM500 requires bias and low gain. HC5 does not need bias but needs high
gain. BIAS is preserved but H/L is not. Perhaps H/L should be preserved as
well.

But no big deal.
