[Elecraft] RF in Microphone

Jim.

What Mic Gain and Compression settings do you use with the CM500 headset?

A friend said that he uses MIC=40 and CMP=20, but Howard at Elecraft thinks 
that's far too high.
I found that I can get the correct ALC response using Mic=11 and CMP=20.

...........................The Yamaha CM500 is widely used by K3 owners. 
I've used one since a
local ham introduced our contesting club to it seven or eight years ago.
Both mic and headphones sound very good and it's quite comfortable. It
plugs straight into the jacks on the rear panel. It's an electret, so
you'll need to turn on  bias.
