Adjust Tx EQ and CMP and play back the sample and you will be able to hear what your signal will sound like to the other station. Doing this "live" with a microphone is not nearly as effective due to bone conduction of your voice to your ears.

This is a great trick!

I spent about 10 minutes with it this morning and found the sweet spot for my voice. I could try alternatives in the two record buffers and easily A/B them, then pick the winner, and try a new combination.

I chose the TX EQ suggested by K9YC with compression set at 10. Compression above 10 gave increasing levels of “fry” distortion.
