Overall a real nice experiment I highly recommend. The Heil mike sounds great either way- the MD-100 sounds better with equalization but but I'm also not using it with high or low cut activated. Each have there place! The parametric equalizer is quite noticeable both in and out. It was also nice to hear what processed and non-processed audio sounds like. The new settings did not cause this effect. The old settings emphasized the lower end more and I think made My transmitted signal sound like it contain an element of RF to it. Then I changed to the new settings and again adusted mike gain and processor on/off and equalization in or off. I used both mikes and tried without eqalization and also with the processor and several different settings of mike gain. Lets back up a minute- before I changed these settings I tried to listen to Myself with the old settings-not the default or new ones. For Dx might want 4-26 or 400 -2600Hz! The next parameters are 91-99 dealing with the low,medium and high Parametric microphone equalizer settings.I set mine to the following: menu 91-200 menu 92-15 menu 93-5 for the low then menu 94-700 menu 95-6 menu 96-5 for the medium and menu 97-2400 menu 98-+8 menu 99-5. Change menu 64 from 1-30 ( 100-3000 Hz) to 2-28 ( 200-2800hz) to help raising the lower end. Ragchew EQ settings With the mode button on NORM this is a great rag chew setting with a deeper bass sound (as much as you can get on an ICOM anyway ) With the mode button on DX this cuts out a lot of the bass from the EQ setting and creates a good penetrating DX voice sound for contesting, etc. Dummy loads are able to transmit sometimes lots farther than We want!!Īccording to several different internet sites, Heil included, its suggested to dump the lower frequencies. I plugged headphones into the Kenwood and transmitted from the Yaesu- dummy load to dummy load.Word to the wise-always identify yourself- " N0UJJ testing,1,2,3 N0UJJ clear" as an example. I set up My Kenwood TS-850 into a dummy load and also did the same with My Yaesu FT-950 and turned power all the way down to 5 watts. No way I can use a "run" frequency without handsfree though.ĬQ WPX SSB is fast approaching and I decided to try and play with both the MD-100 and My nice Heil. Consequently, I don't have as much confidence using this setup and quite often revert to My desk mike for S & P operation. I've never been exactly happy with what I'm hearing- sounds a little "RFy" in My speech. I've used it every contest since then and hear Myself thru the headphones with the "moni" set high enough to hear. This mike has two elements, an HC-4 and HC-5 which one is more for DX and another for casual talking. I talked over the air to another Ham who has a Ft-950 and the end result seemed to work fine using My MD-100 Desk mike.Īfter I bought My Heil Proset plus I set it up over the air also but with another ham. When I first set up this radio, I changed some of the Parametric Equalyzer settings and also the Tx bandwidth.
