[Icom] SM-8 with 775 DSP

[Harry Tankin]

I've used the SM-8 with the 775.  If the SM-8's impedence switch (HIGH 
and LOW) is left in the HIGH position the transmit audio will be 
distorted unless the mic gains (rig and mic) are adjusted very low.  
The switch needs to be set to LOW and gain adjusted accordingly.
