[ICOM] 7800 audio

[mecker at peoplepc.com]

sm-20 mic
cant tell how it sounds with dummy load, need
another person. have to get it on the air to test
(have done so with mixed results) (want to QSO to verify?)
no external equipment or noise gates.
Im not dissatisfied myself, but Im trying to satisfy the people
who are listening to me on 160m(Im happy, their not)
Need info on if the 7800 has this trouble
and what are the cures... KE2BP
