    heil icm help

    Use of the Heil series of microphones Most of the Heil series of microphones have too little output to sound good on an IC746 (IMHO) without employing a pre-amp. It's possible to turn the mic gain up, use the speech compressor and shout your head off but that's not ideal. You can even buy a...

    touching the meter

    Is this normal behavior, even though I have the equipment properly grounded? I checked with a continuity meter, and everything looks good.

    dead carrier
