[Kenwood] PSK31 and TS2000

[randas@mindspring.com]

One suggestion I have Robert is to adjust the mic gain for the front mic
input. I know the input from the acc plug should only be adjustable via the
menu setting, but on my TS2k the front mic gain has a great deal of affect
on the acc plug input/agc level. Anyone else notice this on their radios???
