Hi all, I reduced the mic gain as suggested ang worked into Germany on 6 meters.


No clipping or distortion, the mic gain setting is at 47 on the scale and about 6 inches away from my mouth.

    Hello Chris,

    

    No, I don't have any settings.  I haven't used my radio in years.

            Hi
              Rick and thanks for the reply. I am using a standard
              microphone. Have you any specific settings you could 
              recommend ?

            
            
              Thanks in advance.

 Low voltage is possible but if you have over 13
                      volts of DC input "under load" then it is not
                      likely unless a circuit failure has occurred that
                      results in increased gain or output swing of the
                      audio.  Too high of microphone gain can cause
                      clipping.  There is a speech processor built into
                      the FT100 that may not have the parameters set
                      correctly.

                                                group. I have been told
                                                that my speech may be
                                                clipping on the Ft100. 

                                              
                                              Has
                                                anyone got any clues ?
