Got this thing used a couple months ago. Haven't paid much attention to FM 
till now. Transmit audio is low. Receiving stations say I sound like I am 
far away. They also comment on it sounding narrow. No complaints on SSB or 
AM. I have to run the compressor to sound half way decent. I've adjusted the 
mic gain, compressor level, TCN, and changed filter bandwidth. I don't have 
a deviation meter. Nor do I know where the adjustment is for it. :) Kinda 
suonds like that might be my problem. But I'd like to hear from some of the 
experts out there. Before I look for my golden screwdriver.
