@Operation
Turn the PROC switch ON and place the METER switch to COMP. Adjust the PROC control while speaking
into the microphone in a normal tone of voice, for a peak COMP scale reading of no more than 10 dB. Do not
overdrive the COMPRESSOR.
This will deteriorate voice quality, increase transmitter noise level, and in
general make copying your signal more difficult.
Next, set the METER
switch to ALC and adjust the MIC gain contro! while speaking into the microphone.
Ensure that the meter deflection is within the ALC zone!
