Tony,

From the icom manual/brochure..transmit bandwidth as follows;

No Compression                 With Compression
wide-2.8                                 wide-2.9
mid-2.4                                   mid-2.6
nar-2.2                                    nar-2.0

At wide settings, remember you will be using more bandwidth on the already 
CROWDED bands. Most/many transceivers have their receive bandwith at 2.4 to 
2.7 which is about right. So, mid setting with or without compression is just 
perfect.

So, what you heard is correct.

Now, how I have my pro 2 set up is;
+ 2 bass  + 2 treble (+3 in contest or DX mode) using a heil headset(hc-5)
mid with slight compression.  Icom reccommends 10-20dbs. 
I usually run abt 5-10dbs unless dx or contest mode then push it 15dbs.
great great audio reports too..
