Rear panel, bias on, Menu Mic Gain to low setting.  TXEQ -- set two 
lowest bands to their minimum setting. Depending on your voice, you may 
also want a lot of cut in the third band. Do the third band by ear based 
on reports from someone listening with their RX filter wide. Set all 
other filters flat (zero, no cut, no boost).

To set levels -- first, turn COMP all the way down, then talk and set 
front panel mic gain for ALC (indicated on the meter) to the marked 
level for ALC. THEN turn up COMP until you see 10dB of compression on 
voice peaks.  Now you're ready for on-the-air signal reports.
