om...
Recently purchased a used (but in excellent condition) FT-1000 MK 5
with MD-200.

I am having trouble setting up the microphone, and am told my TX audio
is FLAT.

What are the best settings with this mic and radio, ie:-

What menu settings should be changed and to what value?

Where should the PROC knob be turned to, and also the MIC knob?

On the bottom the the mic is a switch, which way should it be set?
Also inside the mic is a rotatable control - again, how should this be
set?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best Wishes...

I would second Chaney's suggestion except the I leave 4.4 at 1 to avoid
sounding like a Darlek.

http://www.va3cr.net/ has loads of pages of suggestion for the MP and MkV.
You can mess around with the offsets ad infinitum to adjust your audio.

Turn off the processor and set the mike gain so that voice peaks hit the
marker on the ALC part of the bargraph, then turn the processor back on, set
at 11 o'clock.

I also agree with the general theme of the thread - why are you using an
FT1000MP MkV as a first radio? Seems nuts to me.
