Default Icom 706 MkIIG Problems with Signalink USB Box

All

I have managed to get my signalink box working very well with the
706MkIIG but have found that it causes a weird side effect in that
when
the cable is plugged in the back of the rig it heavily attenuates my
voice so that people struggle to hear me when i am speaking on the
mic.
To be heard i need to turn up AGC to 10. When unplugged the lead i can
leave at normal setting of 5. Since everything else is working ok has
anyone else experienced this problem or got any ideas.

Many thanks

Andy

Andy,
It sounds like attaching the signallink box double terminates the
microphone. I don't know if there is a way to adjust the output
impedance on the signalink box, but you might try raising it. That
means that you will also probably have to raise its output level as
well. I have one of the signalink boxes on order and will let you know
how I interfaced it to my 706 when I get it.
