[Kenwood] Kenwood TS-930S Microphone Impedance Setting?

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 21:59:47 -0500

ON the frequency I hang around on, we experiment with all kinds of radios
and that setting on that mic, most sound good in the nonrecomended position,
only way to find out is to try it honestly, I would. You won't hurt anything
by doing that, I've done it before I discovered I like the mc-80 1000 times
better.
