[ICOM] Mic gain on the 706 MKIIG

Wed May 31 10:56:18 EDT 2006

I keep my mike gain for ssb at 8 and also the Heil headset. Also has "COM" on. I believe 8 is what the manual recommends and I usually get 20 over S9 reports with no AMP. That should do you good on 2 meters as well.

I also have this issue with my 706. I think I have my gain set to 3 
and I yell at it on SSB and hold the mic about a foot away on FM. 

There must be some way to set things so this dosent happen. What 
makes it worse is My kenwood d700. I always have to yell at that thing 
so I find my self over driving my 706 on FM. just 'cause I'm trained 
to.
